Not just storage as usual – Long-term storing of research data for the University of Helsinki (TPAT)
In 2022, the University of Helsinki made a decision to strengthen its research data storage services and data curation over the next five years backed by 1.5 million euros in funding. The long-term storage of research data (Tutkimusdatan pitkäaikaistallennus, TPAT) differs from a conventional data storage service.

TPAT answers the question: ”Where can I save this valuable data for future use or as evidence of research already completed?”
