RDMkit
The Research Data Management Kit (RDMkit) supports life scientists in managing their research data in accordance with the FAIR Principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable). Structured along the data lifecycle, RDMkit provides practical guidance, domain-specific recommendations, and role-based advice for implementing effective research data management strategies. It also includes country-specific information and links to relevant infrastructures and resources.
