Open Research

At the SDSC, we promote open research practices throughout the entire data lifecycle.

The SDSC endorses the Swiss National Open Research Data (ORD) Strategy to foster the creation and broad reuse of research data.

By leveraging our expertise in semantic enablement, data governance, privacy and security, and other key areas, we help our partners and ecosystem actors to adopt open research practices that maximize the impact and reuse of their research outputs.

This includes creating high-quality data assets that are accurate, reliable, and trustworthy and ensuring that these assets are accessible and transparently managed.
We also support capacity-building efforts that help to develop the skills and expertise needed to undertake open research and promote collaboration and innovation across the entire research community.

A team dedicated to Open Research Data

Further extending its commitment to the ORD strategy, the SDSC established a dedicated team for ORD Engagement and Services to support research communities on their ORD journey. In tight collaboration with research communities, we develop positive incentives to encourage the adoption of ORD best practices, such as the adoption of the Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) principles.
