Data Management Plan

SWIFT partners will develop a Data Management Plan (DMP, D1.2) encouraging open access to research data. Partners will participate in the extended Pilot on Open Research Data in Horizon 2020, with data freely accessible, except for those which are potentially protectable or considered as personal data (in accordance with GDPR). The first version of DMP will be delivered at M6 and updated at the end of each reporting period using the template in Table 4 which incorporates the Horizon Europe guidelines on FAIR data management.
