About the Core

The Data Core's mission is to offer VIB researchers an answer to data-related infrastructural challenges associated with data-driven life sciences, i.e.

  • increase the quality, standardization, and efficiency across the data value chain - from project planning and data acquisition to knowledge generation and the publication and archiving of the research data according to FAIR principles
  • increase the visibility of VIB’s research outputs such as datasets, databases and software tools
  • support computational research at VIB
By building and reinforcing our dedicated data infrastructure services, we aim to increase standardization rates, reproducibility of data and of course data quality. This will ultimately lead to more accessibility so our scientists can leverage the treasure trove of data that we have available into more and better research.
