“Good data management and stewardship is not a goal in itself, but rather a pre-condition supporting knowledge discovery and innovation”. The structure of the FEAST DMP follows the structure of the template provided by the EU for Horizon Europe projects. This document is the first version of the FEAST DMP; the DMP will be continuously updated during the course of the project. All FEAST partners are responsible for data generated, creation of meta data, and following FAIR principles. Further to this, the DMP is designed to meet FEAST partner needs. To this end, to gain insight into partners’ specific needs as well as any data they will be collecting or producing in FEAST, a survey was conducted of all partners (the survey questions can be found in Annex 2 - Survey Questions). The answers to the surveys are summarized in sections 5.1, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 6.2.1 and 6.4 and were used to inform the design and delivery of the FEAST DMP. FEAST research data will align with the EC strategy on Web of FAIR Data and Services to interlink data spaces.
