Scope of the ORD Pilot

1. All the thematic areas of Horizon 2020 (as of 2017)2. Participation is the default option: with opt-out

possibilities at any stage, including after the signature of the agreement

3. Applies primarily to the data needed to validate the results presented in scientific publications. Other data can also be provided

4. Costs related to open access to research data, including the creation of a data management plan, are eligible for reimbursement

Aim of the ORD Pilot

The ORD pilot is aimed at encouraging:1. Open access to and reuse of digital research

data generated by Horizon 2020 projects, and;2. Sound data management

“Participating in the ORD pilot does not necessarily mean opening up all your research data. Rather, the ORD Pilot follows the principle “as open as possible, as closed as necessary” and focuses on encouraging sound data management as an essential part of research best practice.”

Research data management

Sound research data management is data management following the FAIR principles. All research data should be:Findable: easy to find by both humans and computer systems;Accessible: stored for long term with well-defined license and access conditions (open access when possible);Interoperable: ready to be combined with other datasets by humans as well as computer systems;Reusable: ready to be used for future research and to be processed further using computational methods.

Requirements

The conditions set by Horizon 2020 with regard to research data management, come down to two requirements:1. Formulate a data management plan, and;2. Deposit research data in a data repository

“Once a project has had its funding approved and has started, you must submit a first version of your DMP (as a deliverable) within the first six months of the project.”

Single DMP for the project

The DMP is a set of questions about:1. The handling of research data during and after the project2. What data sets the project will collect, process and/or generate3. Whether and how the data sets will be shared/made open access4. How data will be curated and preserved5. What measures are taken to safeguard and protect sensitive data

“They must deposit the data preferably in a research data repository and then, as far as possible, take measures to access, mine, exploit, reproduce and disseminate the data…”
