The DCC/ICT for Research provides state-of-the-art solutions to support your research with digital technologies. Digital technologies play an ever-increasing role in all research disciplines, be it for making your research open; storage, analysis, or visualization of research data; computing power or international research cooperation. We welcome you to inform us about your ICT needs, and co-create tools, infrastructure or software tailored to the needs of your research project.
Advice and co-creation
We can advise you on data solutions taking into consideration privacy, security and IP issues based upon data classifications. Where connections will be made to national and international solutions for specific research disciplines and or cloud-based services. The DCC closely monitors new developments in research support with digital technologies.

Storage solutions, visualization tools, High Performance Computing
DCC offers UT-researchers:
- Tools to manage your data, such as UT DMP for writing you data management plans.
- Secure storage of research data, including advanced authorization mechanisms; this storage can be on the premises or in a cloud, temporarily or permanently. Various storage solutions for research, both during and after a research-facilitating co-operation with external parties, are now further developed.
- Cloud Computing: Virtual Research Environment, Center of Expertise in Big Geodata Science (CRIB)
- Research data analysis and visualization tools, making use of existing knowledge of big data and data science at the UT
- Computing power, including access to the HPC facility (High Performance Computing).
- Special-purpose, cloud-based hardware (e.g. many so-called accelerators are readily available to final users, but also a variety of storage devices including fast disks [SSDs] as well as hard drives).
Infrastructure for open innovation and multi-disciplinary collaboration
We co-invest in infrastructure that has a university-wide impact and that facilitates open innovation and multi-disciplinary collaboration. We stimulate a multi-disciplinary collaboration and facility sharing by connecting our existing labs into a university wide research facility: the Smart Campus Lab.
Integrity, safety and security, privacy, and ethics
We develop a comprehensive safety and security scheme to deal with issues such as cybersecurity, privacy, facilitation of sharing of data where appropriate and limiting access to data where needed, and proliferation of sensitive knowledge. Engagement, integrity, safety and security, privacy and the code of ethics are incorporated into our research and knowledge transfer practices and are key to maintain academic standards.
