Welcome to e-Infrastructures Austria!

The project e-Infrastructures Austria was initiated in 2014 by the Federal Ministry of Science, Research and the Economy (German: BMWFW) to promote coordinated expansion and the further development of repository infrastructures throughout Austria. This is intended to ensure the secure archiving and provision of electronic publications, multimedia objects and other digital data from research and teaching.

In 2016, we can look back on three eventful years in which we have not only succeeded in establishing suitable platforms that enabled exchange, and thus the dialogue between the partner institutions, but also in bringing together and networking libraries, IT areas, research services and researchers. This has enabled us to achieve common goals and to lay the foundations for follow-up projects.

Information on many of these results, including the templates for data management plans, a sample policy of research data management, the research data survey as well as topic-relevant workshops and events can be read here.
