Lessons Learned: On the Challenges of Migrating a Research Data Repository from a Research Institution to a University Library.

The transfer of research data management from one institution to another infrastructural partner is all but trivial, but can be required, for instance, when an institution faces reorganisation or closure.In a case study, we describe the migration of all research data, identify the challenges we encountered, and discuss how we addressed them.It shows that the moving of research data management to another institution is a feasible, but potentially costly enterprise.Being able to demonstrate the feasibility of research data migration supports the stance of data archives that users can expect high levels of trust and reliability when it comes to data safety and sustainability.
