Local Data Hub

Your Local Data Hub - business card and portal for your institution's research data management

The Local Data Hub serves to present and exchange your projects, studies, publications, (bio)medical data, models and software tools from the field of health research and is based on the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable).
You can use this tool for research data management directly in your institution - here is an example for the Local Data Hub of the ZKS Leipzig.

In the Local Data Hub, detailed supplementary resources such as study protocols, data sets, references to publications, repositories, registers and analysis platforms are networked and presented in context. Institutions, contact persons and authors, sponsors and funding programs, presentations and studies and much more can be networked and searched. Access to the resources can be open to the public, to a group, only locally or to a small number of people. Existing, proprietary heterogeneous data and project portals may become superfluous. We work according to the principle of Software-as-a-Service: the web-based solution allows various forms of operation, fully operated by you or centrally hosted.

The underlying tool FAIRDOM SEEK is established and, together with the international community, is continuously adapted, further developed and optimized by NFDI4Health to meet the needs of clinical studies, epidemiological cohorts and public health studies.

The NFDI4Health team will support you with installation and training.
