Status
The establishment of DeiC Storage runs in three parallel tracks; a technical-, a policy- and an agreement track.
Technical track
The consortium are working on technical and user-oriented documentation of the service, as well as adjustments to the service's user interface based on feedback from user tests and DeiC.
Policy track
The consortium and DeiC are working on clear policies for use, including Terms of Use, description of quotas and guarantees for backup of data stored in the service.
Agreement track
The consortium and DeiC are working on finalizing the operating agreement based on K04.
What is it?
DeiC Storage is an open, national storage system where employees from Danish universities can store and share research data.
DeiC Storage is owned by DeiC and will be made available free of charge to all Danish universities after establishment. The service is based on an existing service that was developed at the University of Copenhagen. DeiC Storage will be operated by the University of Copenhagen.
When can I start using DeiC Storage?
DeiC Storage will be open for onboarding of users when the technical, policy and legal steps in the establishment project have been completed (see status).
After this, your university will have to complete a local implementation process before it is possible to use the service. This process is managed and owned by the individual university and consists of the following general steps:
- Signature of data processing and connection agreement
- Adding the service to the university's portfolio of services, including security approval
- Establishment of local governance.
Steering Group
The development project behind DeiC Storage is owned and led by a consortium at the University of Copenhagen. The consortium includes members from the University of Copenhagen and Aarhus University. The consortium's steering group consists of:
- Lise Arleth (KU), Project Owner and Chairman
- Karen Rahbek (KU), UCPH-IT Representative
- Brian Vinter (AU), AU Representative
- Peter Bruun (AU), AU Representative
- Gitte Kudsk (DeiC), DeiC Representative
- Peter Edwards (KU), Project Manager
DeiC Sensitive Storage
DeiC Storage will eventually be accompanied by a separate service, DeiC Sensitive Storage, which can be used to store sensitive research data. DeiC Sensitive Storage will be established after DeiC Storage.
