Project ended? Don’t let your data vanish! The final phase of the data lifecycle is critical: Deciding its fate. To ensure your work remains secure, open and FAIR in the future, datasets should be moved to trusted institutional repositories. Why would you want to publish your data? 👇

Reminder: the second call is still open for Engagement & Collaboration - ECHOES Cascading Grants Programme. This call will support 20 projects, with up to €29,800 available per project. 🔷 Deadline: January 30th ➡️ Find out more: www.dariah.eu/2025/11/17/e...
