D7.4 Data management and IPR protection strategy

Deliverable, D7.4 provides an initial data management plan for Firelogue and details what will be done going forward. The plan will set out the consortium's strategy to improve and maximise access to and re‐use of research data generated or collected under the project, while ensuring data protection as well as the consortium's intellectual property rights (IPR). This document details the expected types of data to be collected by the consortium partners (Chapter 1), the storage of data and deliverables, the protection of data (Chapter 2), and states the role of the Data Protection Officer as the contact person for consortium members. The deliverable further focuses on the FAIR data requirements set out by the European Commission as well as data protection and data security measures that will be undertaken by the consortium. Chapter 3 deals with the questions of intellectual property and outlines the requirements as well as supportive measures. The concluding section (Chapter 4) provides a description of the future course of action in an effort to continuously adapt the plan, to expand it if necessary and to render it more precise. The data management plan is a living document in which information will be made available on a more detailed level as the implementation of the Firelogue project progresses and when significant changes occur. This document is the initial of the two versions to be produced for the data management plan throughout the Firelogue project’s duration with a second official version to be released at the end of the project.
