The Competence Centre Digital Research (zedif) is your point of contact for all matters relating to research data and research software management as well as the use of digital tools.

We support you from starting to plan and applying for a research project to securing and publishing the results. No matter which research domain you belong to or where you are in your academic career.

We work closely together with the central service facilities (e.g. URZ, ThULB, SFT, Legal Office) in Jena and try to find the right solution for your needs.
