The work done by the MHEI group together with the University Library and the Legal Department in creating a Data Management Plan has been recognized and lays the foundation for other Departments and research groups to also structure themselves to regulate the handling of research data and usage rights in a binding manner and to avoid conflicts over data in advance. We are very happy to receive this important recognition from our University: https://www.fu-berlin.de/presse/informationen/fup/2025/fup_25_043-geowissenschaften-nfdi4earth-commitment/index.html.
