Sample and research data management within a virtual research environment (INF)

• Subject Area: Chemistry
• Term: from 2012 to 2024
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 191948804

The INF project continues to provide and support the central web-based platform for the storage and exchange of data, the collaboration among researchers, and the management of samples. It will integrate and automate workflows that produce and curate data, such as dynamic light scattering and other analytical methods. Furthermore, it will introduce an electronic lab notebook (ELN) software (Chemotion) and further the integration of other ELNs that are already in use in some research groups. Finally, it will support researchers in all aspects of their data management.
