Research data management
The Data Project aims to improve data management strategies and practices at the Faculty of Medicine. The working groups of the Data Project bring together a community of researchers from the Faculty, members of the Geneva University Hospitals, and staff from the University’s central services and faculty platforms.
The Faculty’s objectives are to define the tools and approaches needed to facilitate and optimize data management, to promote and support the implementation of institutional policies at the Faculty level to ensure compliance with legal requirements, and to contribute to creating an environment that fosters good research data management and enhances the value of research data. These efforts must also meet competitiveness requirements, adhere to nomenclature and semantic standards, and integrate advances in artificial intelligence.
The Faculty’s recommendations on research data management are structured around three main themes: information and training on data management, data storage, and data sharing.
In addition, the Faculty of Medicine provides a new tool to support researchers and platform managers in reflecting on the lifecycle of data within their laboratories: the Research Data Flow Diagram (RDFD).
