Concept
The scope, complexity and context of digital research output and management data requires the efficient integration of multiple systems of research support. Also, close cooperation between researchers, service personal and management staff is needed to efficiently generate, process, quality control, publish and market high-quality research data.
The department provides services to various user groups and stakeholders through all phases of the research process. FIS ensures the transfer of high-quality management data and research findings into the institutional and public domain. Increased requirements for documentation, reporting and publishing systems are tackled by bundling expertise from all research supporting units at ZALF.
