Getting Started with RDM at reNEW

This site is structured to offer a comprehensive, easy-to-follow path through the core elements of research data management:

  • Onboarding support for new researchers

  • UCPH policies and funder requirements

  • Best practices across the research lifecycle

You’ll also find domain-specific guidance and biomedical resources tailored to reNEW’s research focus:

  • Sequencing data templates

  • Platform-specific documentation
