Ownership may be regulated in cooperation agreements and privacy agreements that you may have entered into in the relevant projects.
Unless otherwise agreed, you as a researcher are free to bring data you have collected yourself to a possible new institution or employer.
This applies to, for example, completed questionnaires, analysis files from EndNote, SPSS etc.

If personal data is involved, contact our legal advisor at personvern@mf.no
If the project has been notified to Sikt (formerly NSD), remember to update the notification in the portal (enter your new institution as Data controller i.e. the institution responsible for the project).
