Research generates data of all sizes, from a few megabytes to hundreds of terabytes. And let’s
face it, storing all that data can be costly. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! In this
session, we’ll dive into campus-supported storage options available to UW-Madison researchers.
You’ll learn:
How much storage can you get for free?
What are the costs for additional storage?
Who can access these storage solutions?
Where can you store restricted data?
and more!

“The Ombuds Office is a safe place where UW-Madison employees can seek guidance regarding workplace concerns at any time, without fear of reprisal, and at no cost to them. Ombuds provide faculty and staff with a confidential place to collaboratively explore complaints, clarify issues, and consider options and resources to address their concerns. Ombuds are impartial and non-aligned, working to promote fairness in the workplace.” https://ombuds.wisc.edu/
