The University of Cambridge Research Data Management Policy Framework

The University of Cambridge has a Research Data Management Policy Framework. The aim of this policy framework is to:

  • provide guidance to all University academics, staff and students on research data management.
  • ensure that the University provides support for good data practices
  • provides support for researchers to meet funding policy requirements.

Funder Open Data Policies

Most research funders also have their own open data policies. The general expectation is that publicly funded research data are a public good and should be made openly available with as few restrictions as possible.

The University's Open Research Position Statement encourages researchers to use open research practices wherever possible throughout the research lifecycle. This includes sharing data, methods, and results to make research more transparent and accessible.

Export Control Policy

The University of Cambridge is committed to complying with UK Export Control law. All researchers, particularly those in the scientific and engineering disciplines, need to be aware of and comply with export control policies and regulations.
