4. “Under Horizon 2020, beneficiaries of ERC grantsmust ensure open access (free of
charge, online access for any user) to all peer-reviewed scientific publications
relating to its results”.
The detailed requirements on open access to publications are contained in the
Horizon 2020 ERC Model Grant Agreement (Article 29.2).”

Publications and Research Data in Projects supported by the European
Research Council under Horizon 2020
(August 2016)
Open Access to Publications

5. “…open access becomes the default setting for research data generated in Horizon
2020. ”
Guidelines on Open Access to Scientific Publications and Research Data
in Horizon 2020 - Version 3.1 - 25 August 2016
Open Access to Research Data
The Commission's approach can be described as "as open as possible, as closed as
necessary"

6. Open Access to Scientific Information

7. Why have to publications and data in H-2020?
1. build on previous research results (improved quality of results)
2. encourage collaboration and avoid duplication of effort (greater efficiency)
3. speed up innovation (faster progress to market means faster growth)
4. involve citizens and society (improved transparency of the scientific
process)
Broader access to scientific publications and data helps (you) to:

Findable
Accessible
Interoperable
Re-usable

9. Invest some time now – save time later
«It is the planning itself that matters….»
Be organized – from the start

11. Evaluation Criteria – Research and
Innovation Actions (RIA)
1.Excellence
Clarity and pertinence of the objectives
Credibility of the proposed approach
Soundness of the concept, including trans-disciplinary considerations
Progress beyond the state of the art.
2.Impact […the extent to which the outputs of the project contribute to]
The expected impacts listed in the work programme under the relevant topic
Enhancing innovation capacity and integration of new knowledge;
Strengthening the competitiveness and growth of companies by developing and
delivering innovations meeting the needs of European and global markets;
Effectiveness of the proposed measures to exploit and disseminate the project results
(including management of IPR), to communicate the project, and to manage research
data where relevant.
3.Quality and efficiency of the implementation
Coherence and effectiveness of the work plan, including appropriateness of the
allocation of tasks and resources;
Competences, experience and complementarity of the individual participants, as well as
of the consortium as a whole (when relevant);
Appropriateness of the management structures and procedures, including risk
management.

12. Proposal, submission & evaluation
…”the proposal is not expected to contain a fully
developed DMP….
…However, good research data management as
such should be addressed under the impact
criterion, as relevant to the project.”
Tip: Look at the DMP as available measures….
to maximize your (own) project impact

13. So, you are required to submit general information on
data management… as part of your proposal…
Project managers (you?) should address the following questions -
provided by the European Commission - when completing the general
information section (p.2) of H-2020 applications:
What types of data will the project generate/collect?

14. Project managers should address the following questions - provided by
the European Commission - when completing the general information
section (p.2) of H-2020 applications:
What standards will be used?
So, you are required to submit general information on
data management… as part of your proposal…

15. Project managers should address the following questions - provided by
the European Commission - when completing the general information
section (p.2) of H-2020 applications:
How will this data be exploited and/or shared/made
accessible for verification - and re-use?
So, you are required to submit general information on
data management… as part of your proposal…

16. Project managers should address the following questions - provided by
the European Commission - when completing the general information
section (p.2) of H-2020 applications:
If your data cannot be made available, explain why!
So, you are required to submit general information on
data management… as part of your proposal…

17. Project managers should address the following questions - provided by
the European Commission - when completing the general information
section (p.2) of H-2020 applications:
How will this data be curated and preserved?
So, you are required to submit general information on
data management… as part of your proposal…
