New storage solution for research data - free of charge

Researcher in studio

Lund University now offers an improved and free of charge solution for storing research data. This new service replaces the previous IT Service “Research Data Folders”, making it easier to order, administrate, and manage authorizations.

What’s new
Storage still takes place on the R: file server, but you now place and manage your own orders directly in Lucat – no need to go through Servicedesk. This gives you better control, saves time, and reduces administrative hassle. Each storage volume is linked to a project or study, which is retrieved from LUCRIS or added manually by yourself.

Key benefits
✔ Better overview of your projects/studies and storage volumes
✔ Improved backup  
✔ Easier authorization and management control
✔ No manual processing delays

Handling data worthy of protection
If your research involves research data worthy of protection, you will still need to order storage trough and work in secure environments like LUSEC or COSMOS-SENS. There is an ongoing work to make this process easier and more seamless, and the cost is now covered centrally – meaning as an individual researcher you will no longer be charged.
