D1.3 - Updated Data Management Plan

The current deliverable (D1.3) defines and describes the updated and final Data Management Plan (DMP) of SmartCHANGE. The DMP seeks to identify the best practices and specific standards for the generated data and assess their suitability for sharing and reuse in accordance with official guidelines. To this end, it aims to support the data management lifecycle for all data that has been collected, processed, or generated by the project to maximize its access.

SmartCHANGE’s DMP complies with the European Commission’s (EC) DMP template [HE DMP, 2026], as it was refined for Horizon Europe, and specifies how the generated data can be easily discovered and accessed, ensuring open access and interoperability. It reflects the status of the data that is collected, processed, or generated, their respective data methodology and standards, whether and how this data is shared and made open and how it is curated and preserved.

This document constitutes the final version of SmartCHANGE’s DMP and is issued in the 3rd year of the project (M36). While no additional DMP deliverable is planned, the SmartCHANGE consortium will continue to monitor and implement data management activities internally during the remaining project period, up to M48.
