Open Science Services at ZALF

How does Open Science at ZALF differ from universities?

small institution compared to universities (financial differences? Library and data management department do not do research but are service facilities. (obligations of researchers not only towards ZALF but also towards other institutions). Leibniz Association inspires ZALF with guidelines and tools like LeibnizOpen. What do we want to achieve (at ZALF)? easier collaboration between research groups within ZALF and with other institutions (less beaurocracy with data sharing agreements, collaborations with big institutions are complicated, who is allowed to sign contracts?) higher visibility of research output higher importance of research data as lots of data are produced at ZALF. Due to high mobility of researchers and the age distribution among ZALF employees it is important to think of how to discover data available at ZALF and their long-term storage.
