About
The URBANISE Data Steward aims to be your first point of contact for practical Research Data Management (RDM) support in urban research.
The Mission: Help researchers and city partners plan, manage, share, and reuse urban data, grounded in FAIR, open, and ethical principles. Working with the Data Steward Team, faculties, service units (e.g., FPS, ZID), and the City of Vienna, we connect people, tools, and standards so projects can move faster with higher data quality.
The URBANISE Project
URBANISE is part of the Austrian Implementation (IMPA) of the EU Mission CITIES / UN SDG 11.
The goal is to provide support for RDM in Urban Research, foster transdisciplinary connections and work towards interoperable, sustainable infrastructure.
This project runs from 15.01.2026 - 31.12.2027 and is a collaboration between University of Vienna's Library and Research Services, jointly led by Tobias Reckling and Michael Feichtinger.
This project is funded by the FFG. The FFG is the central national funding agency and strengthens Austria’s innovative capacity.
