Research Data Centres and Datasets

Below you will find links to the involved RDCs and to the available datasets.
Most RDCs require the successful applicant to visit the RDC for a face-to-face training session before the data can be accessed, whether onsite or remotely.  For selected projects, DwB will refund travel expenses.

3 For remote access, a fingerprint reader is sent to the organisation together with an installation CD-ROM.
