Microbes4Climate Project Data Management Plan and Processing of Personal Data v1.0

The Data Management Plan (DMP) for the MICROBES-4-CLIMATE project outlines strategies and
procedures for managing all types of data assets generated and reused throughout the project's
lifecycle, ensuring adherence to Horizon Europe guidelines. It emphasizes data quality, accessibility, and
long-term preservation, covering practices for data collection, storage, sharing, and preservation, while
addressing legal, ethical, and security considerations. This initial DMP aims to provide comprehensive
guidelines for preserving data and other research outputs collected or generated during the project's
implementation by consortium members and outcomes produced by TNA grants. Effective data
management practices, including accurate data recording, metadata documentation, and secure storage
and dissemination of results, will be performed to ensure safe and reliable data preservation.
Given the diverse range of data expected over the project's five-year duration, the DMP incorporates
various strategies for responsible data management and is regularly revised to accommodate newly
generated data throughout the project's lifecycle.
