Coscine
Store and archive research data for 10 years with Coscine
Coscine is an RDM tool that allows researchers to store and archive their organized project data for ten years. Coscine's goal is to simplify FAIR data management – for example through flexible metadata schemas tailored to the requirements of your research and through the automatic assignment of persistent identifiers that make data sets linkable in the long term.
Coscine is both a storage medium for active (including collaborative) use during a project and an archive in which data sets are stored for up to ten years after the end of the project, in accordance with the requirements of good research practice and funding bodies like the DFG.
UDE employees receive 100 GB of free storage space on Coscine – simply log in with your UDE ID. More storage space for large amounts of data is provided via datastorage.nrw upon request.
More storage for large data
Researchers can request additional storage space for large amounts of data.

Coscine for UDE students
Students who would like to archive the research data of their thesis via Coscine require a UDE employee (e.g. their supervisor) to set up a project for them in Coscine. This project automatically receives 100 GB of web storage. The student can then be invited to join the Coscine project (as "Owner" or "Member") to use the storage.
Coscine workshops
As part of our RDM Curriculum, we offer hands-on workshops for Coscine in which you can try out the platform for yourself each semester.
