AURORA D2.2 - Data Management Plan

This document describes the AURORA Data Management Plan (DMP). This is the Deliverable D2.2 of the project. The DMP provides the description how the research data collected, processed and/or generated will be handled during and after the AURORA project, describes which standards and methodology for data collection and generation will be followed, and whether and how data will be shared, and finally how data will be curated and preserved. This document follows the template provided by the European Commission in the Participant Portal1 [R1]. The DMP is required for AURORA projects participating in the Open Research Data Pilot [R2]. Data in the Horizon 2020 are included in Article 29.3 of the Grant Agreement, which applies to all projects participating in the Pilot: 'Regarding the digital research data generated in the action ('data'), the beneficiaries must: (a) deposit in a research data repository and take measures to make it possible for third parties to access, mine, exploit, reproduce and disseminate - free of charge for any user - the following: (i) the data, including associated metadata, needed to validate the results presented in scientific publications as soon as possible; (ii) other data, including associated metadata, as specified and within the deadlines laid down in the data management plan (see Annex I); (b) provide information - via the repository - about tools and instruments at the disposal of the beneficiaries and necessary for validating the results (and - where possible - provide the tools and instruments themselves). Moreover, the data management policy described in this document is - - reflecting the current state of consortium agreements [R3] on data management consistent with exploitation and IPR requirements [R3]
