Data Management Plan

The Data Management Plan (DMPs) will detailing what data the project will generate, whether and how it will be exploited or made accessible for verification and re-use, and how it will be curated and preserved. The use of a Data Management Plan is required for projects participating in the Open Research Data Pilot. Other projects are invited to submit a Data Management Plan if relevant for their planned research. Projects taking part in the Pilot on Open Research Data are required to provide a first version of the DMP as an early deliverable within the first six months of the project. Projects participating in the pilot as well as projects who submit a DMP on a voluntary basis because it is relevant to their research should ensure that this deliverable is mentioned in the proposal. Since DMPs are expected to mature during the project, more developed versions of the plan can be included as additional deliverables at later stages. The purpose of the DMP is to support the data management life cycle for all data that will be collected, processed or generated by the project.
