About the subproject

INF

Scientific services and data management

INF supports the CRC throughout the research lifecycle: from planning empirical studies and selecting statistical methods to managing, curating, licensing, preserving, and sharing research data for reproducible and sustainable work.

The project coordinates structured data-management planning, offers statistical training and individual consultation, supports repositories for short- and long-term preservation, and creates computational methods and annotation schemes for work including virtual-reality stimuli and multimodal tracking.
