Projects of the University Library

Our projects aim at improving our services for studying, research and teaching.

We realize our projects with the support of research funders such as the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) or by using our own funds. In this way, we can, for instance, advance our digital research library.

Current Projects

Business and Economic Research Data Center (BERD-NFDI) 

Funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) | Funding period: 2021–2026

BERD@NFDI aims to develop and disseminate transparent, open and innovative standards and tools to manage unstructured (“big”) data and to combine and connect them with structured data in economics, business and related research fields. BERD@NFDI builds a consortium of partners from Business Studies, Economics and related fields, integrating expertise from both research and infrastructure. This network aims to contribute to the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI).
