About the Data Donation Lab

The Data Donation Lab was founded in Summer 2021 by Prof. Dr. Thomas Friemel and Nico Pfiffner.

The Data Donation Lab was initiated to promote and facilitate research with data gathered through data donations. It has two main goals: First, provide an infrastructure to collect digital trace data through data donations by citizens and second, provide a platform for the transdisciplinary exchange among researcher working with such data.

The Lab is supported by a DSI Infrastructure & Labs Grant.
