The Central Data Facility (CDF) is a service and consulting unit of the University of Freiburg supporting researchers in all their Research Data Management (RDM) activities, and at every stage of the research data life cycle. We support you in writing your data management plan (DMP), storing your data, analysing your data, collaborating, publishing your results, training & education, and more.

The CDF acts as a single-point-of-contact connecting researchers to a wide array of RDM tools and data analysis services offered within the University of Freiburg.

The CDF serves as the gateway to the Freiburg Center for Data Analysis, Modeling, and AI (FDMAI), University library (UB), Computer Center (RZ), and other university infrastructures and services promoting scientific collaboration across diverse research fields.
