3.5 For open data

The Independent Student wants:
– Open data as a core value of academic research;
– Research data to be available to the public in a secure manner;

Open data is the principle of open access to research data. This principle offers plenty of advantages to the academic community. It increases the visibility of the results of valuable research, it is easily identifiable by using Digital Object Identifiers and its stimulates the reuse of data for new research.

The Independent Student wants to make the data of all research at the university available to the public in a secure and privacy-compliant manner. Data from Groninger research can be reused to develop new initiatives and to do further research into important fields, such as HIV-research, combating climate change and understanding psychological patterns.
