[2.4] nwo datamanagement - franciska de jong [3tu.datacentrum symposium 2014, twente]
DESCRIPTION
3TU.Datacentrum Symposium Research Data Management: Funder requirements, Questions and Solutions At this symposium the funding organisation NWO and the European Commission explained their vision, plans and requirements. Researchers from the three universities of technology shared their experiences of data management in different stages of research. And the Research Data Services team informed the audience about research data management services offered by 3TU.Datacentrum. The 3TU.Datacentrum symposium took place at the TU Delft (26 May), University of Twente (2 June) and TU Eindhoven (11 June) for and with local researchers.

NWO's view on open access to data
Data resulting from publicly funded research should be made available for reuse by researchers whenever possible
– Collection, curation and deposition of data are part and parcel of scientific research
– Aims: efficient use of resources, visibility and transparacy of research output, replicability of research, repurposing of data, stimulus for new research ideas
Open Data is not: data freely available on Internet
– Open access whenever possible, ‘restricted access’ where needed
Standards for careful use and sustainability :
– NWO-funded researchers are obliged to handle data in accordance with existing codes of conduct; codes may differ per discipline!
– data sets to be stored in a digital repository with an internationally accepted quality mark

NWO’s route towards Open Data
NWO investigates
– how other funding bodies (H2020!) approach rules and requirements for data management
– collects best practises
NWO conducts pilots (at ZonMw and ALW)
NWO organises/initiates/particpates in
– debates
– tasks forces
– exchange of ideas with stakeholders (university libraries, data centers, etc.)
In general: NWO aims to increase awareness for emerging policy changes

Policy implementation and grant proposals
NWO is working on a two-stage model (simple and efficient)
– Data section to be requested in application form with concise description of envisaged data management
– Full data management plan required only after awarding of grant
Open issues:
– Idea: data section does not affect selection, but reviewers or advisory committee can provide suggestions/recommendations
– Idea: request for an initial indication of the costs involved
– Idea: research can only start after the data management plan has been approved

Collaboration is crucial
Layered model (federative) for data storage, cataloguing, access
– with universities
– across universities: DANS, 3TU.Datacentrum, DTLS
– SURFsara and even internationally
Intermediaries / data stewards:
– “take away hassle”
– professionalisation of the chain is needed

Is the timing right ?
Is there an adequate technical infrastructure for data management?
– at universities and research institutes
– at DANS, 3TU.Datacentrum, DTLS (life sciences)
– national data infrastructure (SURFsara)
‘Awareness, skills, incentives’ (cf. Kroes) among researchers and institutions?
3TU.Datacentrum initiatives demostrate a lot of grass root progress and deepening of insights in principles and practises
