Research Data Hub

An Open Data Hub is an online data repository that preserves research data over time and helps other researchers to find it.

At Tec de Monterrey we have the Research Data Hub (RDH), an open research and innovation platform for dissemination, which allows us to publicize the research being done at the institution. Here you will find research data from all areas and disciplines of knowledge generated in schools and institutes.

Are you a researcher at Tec de Monterrey? You can deposit your research data in the RDH to be preserved, used and cited by other institutions.
