Open Research Support Unit (ORSU) is a new unit in the Research Support Services portfolio, working collaboratively with the Library Research Services team to develop, implement and support best practices in Open Research, pivoting TU Dublin to an ‘Open First’ environment.
In addition to supporting the development of Open Research infrastructures within TU Dublin, the Open Research Support Unit provides, information, support and training to the TU Dublin research community. We work with individuals and schools to compile open research strategies - from pre-registration to research data management and open access publishing - across all disciplines.
