In May 2020, the ETH Board adopted an “Open Research Data Position of the ETH Domain” and established an “Open Research Data Programme”. This programme consists of five measures. Measure four concerns the legal basis for Open Research Data (ORD) which is the main topic of the talk.

Three objectives are being pursued as part of this measure four: (i) identification of the (federal) legal obstacles to making research data accessible as ORD by researchers or the institutions of the ETH Domain; (ii) clarification of the responsibilities of researchers and the institutions of the ETH Domain; (iii) development of ORD guidelines that can be used as a common reference in the institutions of the ETH Domain. These guidelines aim to facilitate and promote the making available of research data as ORD by provi­ding a set of rules to be applied. Although data ownership vests in the respective institution of the ETH Domain , ORD-related decisions should be made by the researchers and the research group leaders based on the ORD strategy of the respective institution.
