### Research Data

<p class="callout danger">Research data stored on OneDrive/Teams for collaborative work must be subsequently moved to institutional resources. It must then be deleted from OneDrive/Teams.</p>

<p class="callout info">UNIL recommends the use of institutional resources provided by the Division of Computing and Research Support ([DCSR](https://www.unil.ch/ci/fr/home/menuinst/calcul--soutien-recherche.html)) for long-term storage of research data (see Article 8 of [Directive 4.5](https://www.unil.ch/files/live/sites/central/files/textes-leg/4-rech/dir4-5-donnees-rech3.pdf) (in french)).</p>
