Research data management and management of other research outputs

Open access to research data will be embraced and guaranteed in Gen-Q under the principle "as open as possible, as closed as necessary". Gen-Q will tackle Research Data Management (RDM) and the FAIR principles (findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability) on several levels: Individual training of all students.

Project level: Development of standardized formats for storing data generated within the project according to the FAIR principles. The standardised formats will become the base of a Data Management Plan (DMP) based on the Horizon Europe Data Management Template.

Individual project level: All doctoral candidates will develop a DMP in month 03 of their own project. They will receive support from their supervisors and the local research data management at their host institutions.

Open Access

Gen-Q will consider Open Science (OS) on several levels:

• Training: All doctoral candidates receive training on OS from the beginning of their fellowships on.
• Institutional level: The recruiting universities follow the European Commission's OS Policy with their own OS initiatives. This allows doctoral candidates, to experience the OS approach in their hosting institutions. Results will be freely accessible through open access publication and open software, datasets and end-user engagement.
