Data Management Plans
<\/a><\/a><\/summary>\n

CAS FAIR Wizard<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A tool from the Czech Academy of Sciences for creating Data Management Plans (DMPs).

It also allows DMPs to be shared with the entire research team in real time. It also allows users to select templates from Horizon, the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports (M\u0160MT), the Czech Science Foundation (GA\u010cR), the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic (TA \u010cR), and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DMPonline<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most widely used European platform for creating DMPs. It includes templates from major finance providers and allows collaboration and sharing of plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
