DaFNE Research Platform (dafne.at) and Guidelines
The Federal Ministry provides open access to research results and the underlying data. Research activities and all related reports are published by the Ministry of Agriculture on the research platform “dafne.at.”
The platform dafne.at serves to inform, manage, and document research projects of the Federal Ministry, which are conducted either by the Ministry’s research-active departments (federal institutes and offices) or through commissioned research by external research institutions (for example, BOKU). Other federal ministries or state governments may also participate as research partners within the framework of federal-state cooperation. The research platform thus enables cross-organizational project management.
The benefits of dafne.at lie, on one hand, in the submission and administration of research projects across the entire Ministry, and on the other hand, all research reports are published via the platform by the Ministry of Agriculure and made freely available for download to the science community, administrative bodies, and the interested public.
Guidelines for Submission, Reporting, and Project-Related Public Relations
The guidelines outline general requirements for submission, administrative reporting, and project-related public communications.
