  Open Data Pilotin Horizon 2020 - EC funded projects Briefing paper for Researchers, Project Officers and Project Coordinators participating in the EC Open Data Pilot in Horizon 2020. Horizon 2020: Open Data Pilot A novelty in Horizon 2020 is the Open Research Data Pilot which aims to improve and maximise access to and re-use of research data generated by projects. Participants will be required to deposit their data and enable access for third parties. The creation and use of Data Management Plans is an integral part of this pilot project. The Pilot on Open Research Data will be monitored throughout Horizon 2020 with a view to further developing EC policy on open research. The Open Research Data Pilot applies to two types of data: Step 1: Participating projects are required to deposit the research data described above, preferably into a research data repository. Step 2: As far as possible, projects must then take measures to enable for third parties to access, mine, exploit, reproduce and disseminate (free of charge for any user) this research data. Scope of the Pilot For the 2014-2015 Work Programme, the areas of Horizon 2020 that participate in the Open Research Data Pilot are: This corresponds to about €3 billion or 20% of the overall Horizon 2020 budget in 2014 and 2015. www.openaire.eu The data, including associated metadata, needed to validate the results presented in scientific publications as soon as possible; Incentives / supporting measures: Costs relating to the implementation of the pilot will be eligible. Specific technical and professional support services will also be provided (e-Infrastructures WP). Other data, including associated metadata, as specified and within the deadlines laid down in the data management plan.

  www.openaire.eu Total or partialopting out of the Pilot Action on Open Research Data Projects may at any stage opt out of the Pilot for a variety of reasons, namely: At the proposal stage, the information provided is not part of the evaluation. Proposals will not be evaluated more favourably because they are part of the Pilot and will not be penalised for opting out of the Pilot. Voluntary participation in the Pilot on Open Research Data Areas or subareas of, or individual projects funded under Horizon 2020 and not covered by the scope of the Pilot outlined above may participate in the pilot on a voluntary basis. The project consortia that decide to participate in the Pilot on a voluntary basis will include article 29.3 in their grant agreement and will be monitored along with and receive the same support as all other projects participating in the Pilot. Data Management Plans The creation and use of Data Management Plans (DMP’s) is an integral part of this pilot project. A DMP is a document outlining how the research data collected or generated will be handled during a research project, and after it is completed. It should contain: I need more information The OpenAIRE infrastructure is funded by the EC to support its OA policy and rules. OpenAIRE can provide you with more information about the Open AccesspolicyinHorizon2020andabouthowwecan help you to comply. The OpenAIRE project has local representatives in all EU countries incl. Switzerland, Norway and Turkey (the National Open Access Desks or NOADs). You can contact them directly or ask a question through our helpdesk system. For more information and contact details, please visit www.openaire.eu. The legal requirements for projects participating in this pilot are contained in the optional article 29.3 of the Model 9 Grant Agreement. Other relevant information, such as the scope of the Pilot, is provided in the introduction to the Horizon 2020 Work Programme. http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/ h2020/grants_manual/hi/oa_pilot/h2020-hi-oa- pilot-guide_en.pdf http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/ h2020/grants_manual/hi/oa_pilot/h2020-hi-oa- data-mgt_en.pdf • incompatibility with the Horizon 2020 obligation to protect results if they can reasonably be expected to be commercially or industrially exploited; • incompatibility with the need for confidentiality in connection with security issues; • incompatibility with existing rules concerning the protection of personal data; • if participation in the Pilot on Open Research Data would jeopardise the achievement of the main aim of the action; • if the project will not generate / collect any research data; • if there are other legitimate reason to not take part in the Pilot (at proposal stage – free text box provided). • Data set reference and name • Data set description • Standards and metadata • Reference to existing suitable standards of the discipline. If these do not exist, an outline on how and what metadata will be created. • Data sharing • Archiving and preservation (including storage and backup)
