Safe Room GESIS Mannheim

Safe Room GESIS Mannheim

GESIS is part of the International Data Access Network (IDAN) project which started in 2018. One node is the GESIS site in Mannheim, where a Safe Room is available for remote access to various confidential data.

 


 

IDAN project

The project is a collaboration between 6 Research Data Centres (RDCs) from France, Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom to facilitate controlled data access between these RDCs/countries. In its first phase IDAN aims to enable researchers to work remotely on secure access data provided by partner countries from within each Research Data Centre with all access points in the same physical place (RDC/ Safe Room). For more information on the project’s progress and availability of access points and data, please see the project website at https://idan.network/.
