The LORD (Lille Open Research Data) data management cluster is a local support initiative in the North of France.

The LORD data management cluster brings together and mutualises the various support initiatives in your institutions to create a single point of entry that is more consistent with the reality of multi-disciplinary teams and partnerships in your research units.
LORD offers comprehensive, tailor-made support for research units in the Lille area in all areas relating to the management and dissemination of research data, codes and software. This support takes the form of several actions designed to cover all the teams' needs.
Our commitments
To meet your needs, our services can be structured on four different levels:
-
Discover the issues involved in good management and dissemination of research data, code, and software through presentations in your research units, events, tutorials, and communication tools.
-
Personalised advice via the single contact form that brings together our team and directs you to the right contact person to find answers to your questions (drafting or proofreading a data management plan, data dissemination options, citing source code, etc.).
-
