RIDLOP is entering its preparation phase. The BMFTR funds an 18-month phase for the preparation of RIDLOP, which runs until the end of 2027. Over the coming months, GESIS will establish the conceptual, legal, organizational, and technical foundations of the infrastructure. Key deliverables will include a first working prototype of the Trusted Research Environment, legal procedures and templates for data donation studies, and the coordination with national and European partner infrastructures. The work is organized along the three data acquisition routes of RIDLOP and sets the foundations for the subsequent buildup of RIDLOP.
