Data Management Plan

The Data Management Plan will encompass all measures required for URBAN-EU-CHINA to participate in the Pilot on Open Research Data, which aims to improve and maximise access to and re-use of research data generated by actions. The Data Management Plan will explain which of the research data generated by URBAN-EU-CHINA will be made open. The Data Management Plan will include that for all tasks, digital copies of all data will be taken and stored for a minimum of three years after the conclusion of the grant award or after the data are released to the public, whichever is later. All information and data gathered and elaborated will be recorded and commented in the Platform Deliverables. Deliverables will be made available and archived on the website. For Task 2.1 in particular, the data will be collected based upon comprehensive sustainability indicators. The datasets will be backed up periodically so that they can be easily recovered (for re-use and/or verifications) in the future. The Data Management Plan will be reviewed and updated on a regular basis. This deliverable is led by NTNU and CAUPD.
