Today, 25 March, marks the launch of Researchdata.se, a new national web portal designed to make it easier for researchers to find, share, and reuse research data across various disciplines.
Through a searchable platform, users gain access to thousands of datasets and resources for sustainable data management throughout the research process. The portal facilitates collaboration between universities, research infrastructures, and research organizations working with Open Science by providing a shared platform for data sharing and expert support. This strengthens interdisciplinary cooperation and enables more efficient management of research data.
“Researchdata.se is a major step towards a future where Open Science is the norm. The portal not only simplifies open access to research data, but also serves as a shared space for collaboration, innovation, and sustainable data management in Sweden. We will continue to develop Researchdata.se in close collaboration with our partners and the research community to enhance research quality, transparency, and long-term societal benefits.”
– Eva Stensköld, Director of Swedish National Data Service
Researchdata.se was developed on the initiative of Swedish National Data Service (SND) and is part of the effort to meet the EU’s and the Swedish government’s goal of open access to publicly funded research data by 2026. In collaboration with research infrastructures such as the Bolin Centre for Climate Research, Huminfra, InfraVis, NBIS, SBDI/GBIF, SciLifeLab, SITES, and Swedigarch, Researchdata.se brings together expertise and resources to support the research community. The portal is funded by the Swedish Research Council and the higher education institutions in the SND consortium.
