Policies, codes of conduct and laws

Policies and guidelines at Utrecht University

On the university-wide level, there is the University Policy Framework for Research Data, and the UU-wide Data publication guidelines.

Utrecht University Faculty Data Protocols

While the policy framework offers guidance on an institutional level, faculties are responsible for drawing up their own policy or protocol. Below you can find links to faculty pages about research data management, including links to existing protocols. Note that besides faculty-level protocols, there may also be protocols for your specific department or research group.
