  • Sikt archives and make data available to research communities in Norway and abroad, within the social sciences, humanities, and parts of medical and health research
  • We can archive all types of digital research data, including data that requires special handling or permissions, such as personal data. 
  • Data should be shared as openly as possible, and as closed as necessary. That means data can't have more restrictive usage and access conditions than necessary.
