CKAN - Research Data Management

CKAN (Comprehensive Knowledge Archive Network) is an open-source data management system that empowers universities, research institutions, and governments worldwide to efficiently manage and share research data.

With CKAN, users can deposit, describe, and access data in a standardized and discoverable way, facilitating the seamless exchange of information and promoting the dissemination of research findings through publication. One of the key benefits of CKAN is its ease of use, allowing researchers to focus on their work without the burden of complex data management. Moreover, the platform enables collaboration among researchers, fostering a culture of sharing and co-creation of knowledge, and ultimately accelerating the pace of scientific discovery and innovation through the free exchange of ideas and data.

Our university's instance of CKAN stands out for its exceptional handling of large datasets in the TByte range, making it an ideal solution for researchers working with massive data sets, such as those in fields like genomics, climate science, or materials research.
