Hello,

I am a second-year undergraduate student working on a university-mandated academic project focused on radar signal processing and learning-based analysis techniques.
Our project requires real-world radar data, and the MAFAT Radar Challenge dataset is particularly well-suited due to its structure and relevance. We intend to use the dataset strictly for academic and research purposes and will fully comply with all licensing and usage conditions set by MAFAT.
I would like to ask whether students can request access to the dataset for academic projects, and if so, what the correct procedure is (registration, approval, or any required documentation). If access is restricted, guidance on alternative datasets or official channels would also be appreciated.
