For research, as when multiple users handle common data, it is often necessary to store a file in a group shared directory. For such cases, the centre provides free space other than the home directory.

The purpose of this service is to store files that do not belong to a specific individual, such as files related to a specific research project, and provide sharing area that all members of the group can access. Research projects can be apply for this service.

Even if the members participating in a research project are from different laboratories, they can access to the common data. When the same laboratory promotes several projects, with different participating members, they can use separate file areas.

You can check the following page for directories that include you as a member.
