The importance of data management plan within EU-Founded research and innovation projects

Abstract. Following the integration of automated workflows, as well as the rapid expansion of Artificial Intelligence in research, the acceleration of science has become heavily dependent on open and stream-lined access to research data, thereby making good and consistent data management an imperative. Commencing with addressing EU-funded research and innovation projects from a broader perspective, the paper then delves into the specificities of data management plans, explaining their significant role, as well as availing an example of a Horizon Europe project, funded by the European Commission, namely, “DATAMITE
