At the Collaborative Research Centre “Extinction Learning”, researchers are offered support with storing, sharing, archiving and publishing their data.

MRI scans, EEG recordings, microscope images, stress surveys – researchers produce a veritable treasure trove of research data every day. The Collaborative Research Centre (SFB) “Extinction Learning” at Ruhr University Bochum intends to retrieve this treasure, share it with others and make it accessible to future generations of researchers. This requires trust, patience, convincing – and biscuits, according to Dr Marlene Pacharra and Tobias Otto. They support researchers in research data management in the Information Infrastructure Project (INF) at SFB 1280.
