Michel Beerens – m.j.j.beerens@tudelft.nl

• Research data management plan mandatory for all H2020 projects

Open Research Data Pilot:

1. Future and Emerging Technologies

2. Research Infrastructures – part e-Infrastructures

3. Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies – ICT

4. Societal Challenge ‘Secure, Clean & Efficient Energy – Smart Cities and Communities

5. Societal Challenge ‘Climate action, Environment, Resource Efficiency & Raw Materials’ – except raw materials

6. Societal Challenge ‘Europe in a changing world’

7. Science with and for Society

29.3 Open access to research data

For actions participating in the open Research Data Pilot: Regarding the digital research data generated in the action, the beneficiaries must:

(a)deposit in a research data repository and take measures to make it possible for third parties to access, mine, exploit, reproduce and disseminate — free of charge for any user — the following:

(i) the data, including associated metadata, needed to validate the results presented in scientific publications as soon as possible;

(ii) other data, including associated metadata, as specified and within the deadlines laid down in the ‘data management plan’ (see Annex 1);

(b) provide information — via the repository — about tools and instruments at the disposal of the beneficiaries and necessary for validating the results (and — where possible — provide the tools and instruments themselves).

Financial issues open access to data H2020

• Data requirement costs should be incorporated in the budget of your application (annex II) if the application is part of the Data Pilot, or when you participate voluntarily!

• 3TU.Datacentrum (or your local library) is able to assist you in writing your data management plan or can provide you further information.
