How to publicise your data set on 3TU.Datacentrum
You can upload data sets up to 4 GB via the upload form. Staff at Dutch universities and universities of applied sciences can log in using their NetID.
Other people can log in using an OpenID, such as a Google account.
Once you have logged in, a personal page will be created for you. You can see on this page how much use is made of your data sets.
If your data set is larger than 4 GB or if you have several sets or sets in NetCDF, please contact library@tudelft.nl.

About 3TU.Datacentrum
Since 2008, TU Delft Library has been collaborating with the libraries of Eindhoven University of Technology and the University of Twente to set up the 3TU.Datacentrum, an archive for research data. The aim of the data centre is to provide the scientific community with a permanently accessible sustainable archive of technical-scientific research data for reuse.
For this reason the 3TU.Datacentrum warmly welcomes your contributions of data sets containing technical-scientific data.
