ALGAESOL - D7.2 - Data Management Plan (DMP)

ALGAESOL is a publicly funded Horizon Europe project (Grant Agreement No. 101147112 [1]), and as such it is committed to follow good practices of efficient and transparent data management as well as to implement the Open Science and Open Data mandate of the European Commission (EC). This document, the Data Management Plan (DMP), Deliverable D7.2 V1.0-M6, outlines the handling of data throughout the ALGAESOL project. The DMP serves to ensure transparency and efficient cooperation within the project, guaranteeing this way a high-quality project implementation. ALGAESOL DMP also provides orientation to the project partners as well as to third parties, such as researchers, policy-makers and other stakeholders, regarding the content, validity and accessibility of the project’s data and other outputs.

The management of the ALGAESOL data aspires to respond to the specific needs of the project partners as well as to preserve their best practices in data handling, to harmonize them among the partners, and to integrate them with the requirements of good scientific practice as well as to those of the funding institution. Deliverable D7.2 – DMP was thus co-created by the ALGAESOL partners, under the lead of SIMTECH, within WP7 Task T7.4.

For research data and other outputs that are potentially useful to third parties, the Horizon Europe Open Science rules apply, which serve to encourage and facilitate the validation as well as the reuse of the project results. The FAIR principles will be implemented for research data (data should be findable, accessible, interoperable, and
reusable), but the consortium will also comply with those principles, regarding any other kinds of outputs whenever it is to be expected that third parties benefit from them.

The D7.2 DMP V1.0 document contains an overview of the types of data and other outputs that are expected to result from the ALGAESOL project action, as well as the data management strategy adopted in this project. It further includes a detailed overview over the expected datasets, per WP-Tasks, and their respective handling procedures. In the Annex, a template of the WP-Tasks Dataset Tables and the instructions that were provided to the partners can be found.

Deliverable D7.2 V1.0 is the first of several planned DMP versions for ALGAESOL project, which will at least be updated in time for the project reports. This way, the Dataset Tables completed for the WP-Tasks will be able to be revisited and updated, along with the development of the project.
