OpenAIRE Webinar: Results survey on H2020 DMP template

In Summer 2017, OpenAIRE and the FAIR data expert group ran a survey on the European Commission’s approach to Data Management Plans and the FAIR guidelines on data management.

In this webinar Ellen Leenarts (DANS-KNAW) and Sarah Jones (DCC) are presenting the results:

– The experiences of researchers and reviewers with the DMP template and the guidelines on FAIR data management
– The possible obstacles and unclarities in the guidelines
– Which improvements can be made.

OpenAIRE survey about Horizon 2020 template for Data Management Plans 2017

This dataset is published in 2017 by the OpenAIRE project and the FAIR Data Expert Group.

It contains two survey data files, two pdf-files summarising the results in a report and an infographic, and a Readme.txt file.

The OpenAIRE project supports the open science ambitions of the European Commission. The project and in particular the Research Data Management team provide support, training and information on the Open Research Data Pilot. In this context, a survey was carried out to collect feedback on the Horizon 2020 template for Data Management Plans (DMPs). The team collaborated with the FAIR data expert group, which is providing recommendations to the European Commission on turning FAIR data into reality. One of the specific tasks of the Expert Group is contributing to an evaluation of the Horizon 2020 approach to DMPs, including future revisions of the template and the development of additional sector/ discipline-specific guidance. The aim of the survey was to collect experiences of researchers and DMP reviewers with the DMP template and guidelines on FAIR data management in Horizon 2020. The survey assesses the usefulness of the guidelines and any aspects that are confusing and unclear to determine what improvements can be made.
