From 23 December 2024 up to and including 3rd January 2025, all locations of the Research Data and Service Centre (Berlin, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt am Main, Hanover, Munich) will be closed for guest research stays.

The RDSC will reopen on 6th January 2025. Due to the public holiday in Bavaria, among other places, research stays at the location in Munich will not be possible again until January 7, 2025.

We wish you and your families a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

We kindly ask all guest researchers to shut down the computer they are using at the end of their stay. For stays lasting several days, this must be done daily. Simply removing the badge is not sufficient. If a desktop has to remain switched on because programmes are still running, please inform the RDSC and leave a note on the computer. Maintenance work on the computers in the main administration offices can only be carried out remotely, for which the computers must be switched off beforehand.
