sudo apt install davfs2 # no need to allow non root users (setuid root)
mkdir ~/experiment

If you want to mount this resource each time you boot your computer, put the following in /etc/fstab (replacing USER with your username)
https://exp.socsci.ru.nl/experiment/webdav.php /home/USER/experiment davfs _netdev,noauto,user,uid=USER,gid=USER 0 0
