Data Sharing
Relu takes a proactive approach to data management and sharing through: a programme level strategy, well-established data sharing infrastructures, and data support for researchers to optimise the availability of data to the research community.
The Relu Data Support Service liaises with all projects, providing project-specific advice, training workshops and best-practice guidance. When projects end, research data are archived at ESRC and NERC data centres and are accessible via the ESDS Catalogue, the CEH Information Gateway, or through this portal.
