  • Free up to 1 TB per TU Delft researcher per year

Zenodo

  • Zenodo is a general repository which has an integration with GitHub and thus allows you to get DOI’s for your code/software.

  • You can also store presentations, education materials etc.

  • You can set up communities for your projects/section/department so all research outputs are easily findable. You can find an example community of the Data Stewards here.
