HeFDI Data Services
The HeFDI federal state initiative offers various technical services and infrastructures that all sites jointly develop, coordinate and offer in different forms of operation - depending on what is best suited for which service. Here is an overview of the services currently offered and how to access them. This also includes related services developed by other collaborative projects in Hesse.
-
HeFDI Data Repositories After finishing your project, your research data can optimally be stored and, if necessary, published in a data repository. If your data do not or do not yet fit into a subject repository, HeFDI offers a data repository at each of its member universities. Here you will find an overview of data repositories and the way to your local data repository.

HeFDI Data Management Plans: RDMO The basis of good research data management is a data management plan. To facilitate the work of researchers at the HeFDI universities here, the HeFDI universities offer the tool RDMO (Research Data Management Organiser) as a common service. This page tells you how to get to your local RDMO offering.
-
Sync & Share The sync&share service Hessenbox can be used to share (anonymized) research data with other researchers
-
HeFDI Data Versioning - GitLab Services For good traceability and replicability of research data, Git is essential as a tool and offering. Here you will find an overview of which universities already offer GitLab services.
-
HeFDI Data ELNs - electronic lab notebooks Lab notebooks are a fundamental component in life and natural sciences, and currently the demand for permanent services to electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs) or tools for structured data acquisition is increasing significantly. Accordingly, three HeFDI universities (TU Darmstadt, Goethe University, Philipps University) are preparing such ELN services in a satellite project "HeFDI-ELN", funded by the Hessian Ministry for Sciences and the Arts (HMWK). Until 2024, these ELN services will be tested and prepared for permanent regular operation. Depending on the location and maturity of the service, you can already use tools such as eLabFTW, RedCap or Chemotion.
-
High process computing (HPC) Depending on the discipline and research approach, high computing capacities are needed to adequately process research data. To meet this need, the computing capacities of four universities are bundled in the Hessian Competence Center for High-Performance Computing (HKHLR).

ELN Finder The ELN Finder helps you to search and select a suitable Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) for your purposes.
