MPIFreedata

MPIFreedata is a project that aims to provide free and open access to data relevant to the Max Planck Institute (MPI) research community. The project seeks to facilitate data sharing and collaboration by making research datasets discoverable, understandable, and usable by a wider audience. The initiative is aligned with the principles of open science and aims to promote transparency and reproducibility in research. MPIFreedata typically hosts datasets generated by researchers within the Max Planck Society, covering a broad spectrum of scientific disciplines. The platform often includes metadata descriptions that detail the content, origin, and licensing of each dataset. Users can usually browse or search for datasets based on keywords, research areas, or specific MPI institutions. The goal is to reduce barriers to accessing valuable research outputs and to foster new avenues of investigation through the reuse of existing data. Information on how to contribute data or access existing datasets is generally available on the MPIFreedata website.
