How to Create an Effective Data Management Plan: Requirements, Best Practices and Recommendations for the DMP-Deliverable for Horizon Europe Projects (Workshop in English)

Data is an essential component of research and therefore invaluable for researchers. Systematic research data management provides support for daily research activities in fulfilling good scientific practice (GSP) and thus enables the traceability, reproducibility, and reusability of scientific research. An effective approach to systematically organize the handling of your research data is the creation of a data management plan (DMP).

This mini-workshop will provide you with the knowledge and tools you need to create a comprehensive and effective data management plan in line with Horizon Europe requirements for a DMP deliverable. This event is ideal for researchers and project managers with recently funded Horizon Europe projects. 

Horizon Europe emphasizes Open Science and makes research data management (RDM) and data management planning (DMP) important components of research projects. This is reflected in the requirement to submit a DMP deliverable 6 months after the beginning of the funded project.

The workshop will take you step-by-step through the process of creating a DMP using the FAIR principles - Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable. You will explore what a DMP includes, from summarizing data to making it FAIR, both for your project collaborators and the broader scientific community. The following topics will be covered:

• description of your data
• secure data storage and access management
• metadata and documentation
• handling sensitive data
• choosing repositories for publication
• defining roles and resources for effective data management.   

A practical example shows how you can reconcile data management with project planning. A template will be provided, which you can fill out during the workshop.

Registration (workshop in English)
