The Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC) has committed to promoting open and transparent research practices. Proper Research Data Management that is in accordance with FAIR data principles, i.e. ensuring findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable research data, is a key requirement to achieve this mission. Upholding the best research data management practices is essential for fostering efficient, reproducible, transparent, and high-quality research.
Building upon the UT's overarching Research Data Management Policy, ITC policy provides tailored working rules and guidelines specific to the faculty. The policy applies to all members of the faculty engaged in research activities, including master students and academic researchers (PhD candidates, postdoctoral fellows, researchers, and senior academic staff, i.e. assistant professors, associate professors, and full professors) and all other staff involved in the generation, collection, processing, and dissemination of research data.
