The service project 'Data, Design, Sustainability' is the successor of the INF project in the first two phases. Its purpose is to support the entire CRC Prominence in Language in the practical, day-to-day application of the research methods used in the individual projects. The service project also assists the CRC in managing the generated data (research data management) and conducting proper statistical analysis. It achieves this through regular workshops on the use of the R programming language for data analysis. S plays a crucial role in supporting synergy between CRC projects that use quantitative and experimental methods. Thus, S takes a leading role in ensuring research results are reproducible, data is accountable, and sustainability is maintained.
