Information materials: guides, webinar, fact sheets. |
Development and collection of fact sheets, clips and information materials on major funding programmes. Direct advice to researchers or research teams to identify research funding programmes tailored to specific profiles and needs. |
Support for writing a Data Management Plan (DMP). |
A Data Management Plan (DMP) is a document that outlines how research data are managed during and after a project. Its purpose is to identify strategies to ensure that research data are of quality, secure, preserved over time, and meet FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) principles. The DMP is a mandatory document in research projects funded under the "Horizon 2020" and "Horizon Europe" programmes and in many national programmes, including those funded with the National Recovery and Resilience Plan funds (PNRR funds). It must be prepared in brief as early as the proposal stage and refined during project execution (within six months after the start of the project). However, the Data Management Plan needs to be revised periodically or whenever needed. The International Research, Project design and Open Science Office supports research data management through training and advisory activities. The Office provide assistance both in completing the Data Management section during the project proposal phase and in preparing and updating the Data Management Plan (DMP) during the post-award phase, for example within the Horizon Europe programme. For support, please contact Gloria Moretti (Data Steward) – gloria.moretti@unimc.it |
Support for Open Science |
The International Research, Project design and Open Science Office promotes Open Science within the academic community by supporting the implementation of the University Policy for Open Access to publications and research data, as well as the University Open Science Roadmap. The Office also coordinates the Open Science working group (DR 185/2025). |
