Faculty of Physics
Research data in physics encompass a wide range of information, including raw data generated through experiments, simulations, or theoretical calculations. These data sets, often of large volume and stored in various formats, are crucial to the scientific progress of physics. By analyzing this data, researchers gain new insights into the laws of nature, test existing theories, and develop novel models.
The volume and complexity of research data in physics are constantly increasing, posing new challenges for data storage, archiving, and management. The Faculty of Physics at LMU Munich provides various services and support in research data management to address these challenges.
IT service
The team of the computer administration group of the Faculty of Physics offers comprehensive IT services to students and staff. In particular, the following services are of interest to research data management.
Open Data LMU – Physics
Open Data LMU – Physics is a subject-specific research data repository designed to facilitate the publication of extensive datasets generated from projects within the Faculty of Physics. This portal is operated as collaborative project shared between the Faculty of Physics, the University Library of LMU Munich, and the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ).
