Leistungen

Data Management Plan (2)

Data management plan – Version 1

The first version of the data management plan (DMP) will be prepared by M6 to outline how the research data are collected or generated and will be handled during a project, and after it is completed, describe what data will be collected/generated and following what methodology and standards, whether and how this data will be shared and/or made open, and how it will be curated and preserved. The DMP is a living document: it will be updated by the end of each reporting period. DMP includes: (1) What data will be collected/generated; (2) What standards will be used; (3) What types and format of data will be created; (4) How will metadata be generated; (5) How will the data be documented; (6) What data will be exploited, shared, made open; (7) How and by whom will data be curated and preserved.

Data management plan – Version 2

The second updated version of the data management plan (DMP) will be prepared by M17 to outline how the research data is collected or generated by this point in the project and will be further handled during a project, and after it is completed, describe what data will be collected/generated and following what methodology and standards, whether and how this data will be shared and/or made open, and how it will be curated and preserved.

Documents, reports (4)

Plan for dissemination and exploitation including communication – Version 1

The document will outline the initial version of the detailed planning of the dissemination and communication activities in a systematic manner, with the aim of performing actions and campaigns that reach specific groups and audiences for specific purposes. The plan will also address the exploitation and sustainability aspects, ensuring the timely promotion of the project’s outcomes and engagement of parties outside the Consortium, interested to use or adopt them.

Report on dissemination, communication and synergy activities – Version 1

The report will outline the mid-term results of dissemination and communication activities in a systematic manner listing the performed actions and campaigns that reach specific groups and audiences for specific purposes. The report will also address the exploitation and sustainability mid-term results, focusing on the outcomes of promotion of the project’s outcomes and engagement of parties outside the Consortium, interested to use or adopt them.

Ethics, innovation and IPR management plan

The document will describe the planned measures for IPR management, as well as ethics and innovation management. The followed policies like the Open Science policy will be mentioned.

Replication challenge report

The report will describe the organization and results of the replication challenge targeted at doctoral students. Each involved student will be assigned a mentor from the leading partners. Together they will select a scientific paper (related to the project topic) and replicate the research described therein. The process and results of individual projects' realization will also be included in the report.

Data sets, microdata, etc (1)

Collected labelled dataset

The dataset with accompanying description including labelling scheme and selected quantitative characteristics. Data collection will include several approaches, e.g., automatic content crawling, crowdsourcing or using human experts to annotate data, based on requirements for various tasks. Data collected will be used to answer research questions posed in tasks 2.2-2.4 and will be treated following the FAIR principles.

Websites, patent fillings, videos etc. (1)

Visuals and branding materials

The plan will have a description of brand identity and visuals; website including a splash page; promotional material (brochure/leaflet, poster, roll-up, slides, poster, promo video); communication materials (press releases, newsletters, and additional mass mailing, “exploitation booster materials” to our target groups/stakeholders, aiming to contribute to its use and to maximize the impact of the project; social Media (SNS) management.
