Welcome to Data Support Network -page
The idea of the network is to serve as collaboration channel between CSC and data support personnel in Finnish research organizations. The network seeks to open an easy conversational connection and opportunity for peer support between experts. We have also gathered organisations data support service addresses to a subpage.
