UBC Workshop 1: Data Management Planning

Are you faced with writing a Data Management Plan (DMP), or just want to know what all the fuss it about?

Presentation:

This session will quickly recap the evolution of this document and funding requirement that was officially introduced by Dutch funders in 2016.

Nowadays, the majority of newly granted projects have to write, maintain, and submit such a plan in order to comply to the subsidy conditions. Furthermore, Dutch universities and UMC's have picked up on the benefits of having these DMPs available for their institutional research projects too. The DMP has finally arrived as recognised research support aid and maintaining these plans will be an increasingly important tasks for students, researchers, and staff now.

The DMP templates of NWO, ZonMw, and H2020 will be discussed, as well as the UMC Utrecht's template as example for an institutional template.

Lastly, the presentation part of the workshop will provide further detail on how to budget for research data management in the proposal stage of a project, as well as while writing a DMP.

Hands-On:

The first exercise will introduce you to the Research Data Lifecycle and illustrate what services, tools, and infrastrucutre is available (inter)nationally and locally to support your research data management across all phases of your research project.

The second and longer interactive session offers you the opportunity to either work on your own DMP via DMPonline, or review one of the already publicly available DMPs of another project.

This session is wrapped up with a discussion and Q&A section.
