As several research funders are carrying out (Open) Data Pilots, projects and researchers are increasingly required to deliver a Data Management Plan or DMP. The DMP is a useful instrument for researchers to reflect on and communicate about the way they will deal with their data. It prompts them to think about how they will generate, analyse and share data during their research project and afterwards.
During this EUDAT & OpenAIRE joint webinar, Sarah Jones (DCC) and Marjan Grootveld (DANS) talked through the aspects that Horizon 2020 requires from a DMP, discussing examples from real DMPs and also touching upon the Software Management Plan, which for some projects can be a sensible addition.
For introductory information about Research Data Management you can check the recordings and slides of our previous webinar: "Research Data Management: An introductory Webinar from OpenAIRE and EUDAT"
Target audience: Researchers, data librarians, project coordinators and research officers
Given the high number of registered users, the webinar was held on July 7 and repeated on July 14, reaching over 600 participants in total. Below you can find the webinar recordings and presentations for the two days:
