RDM Policy for autonomous data governance
The new KU Leuven Research Data Management Policy and the institutional data infrastructure to manage and store data during and after research in line with this policy, offers researchers security and sustainability for their data. The recent example of the risk of research data on climate change, gender and diversity stored or hosted in the United States becoming inaccessible (even lost) to researchers in the current US political climate - even if such data were created outside the US - shows the importance of autonomous governance. Keeping research data on KU Leuven storage solutions, as the RDM policy prescribes, protects against such threats to independent research. Should you encounter problems accessing research data or materials from the US, then contact the RDM helpdesk.
