Data obtained from the open survey developed by the LEARN project (http://www.learn-rdm.eu/) as a self-assessment tool to assist institutions discover how ready they are for managing research data. This dataset replaces the previous ones published at http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.61903 and http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.290635. The survey is based on the issues posed to institutions by the LERU Roadmap for Research Data published at the end of 2013, and available at: http://www.learn-rdm.eu/material/leru_roadmap_for_research_data The survey has thirteen questions addressing the main elements to be taken into account in developing an institutional strategy for research data management. Each question has three possible answers representing green, yellow or red light. The more ‘green light’ responses recorded, the readier an institution probably is for managing its research data. The survey is available in English at http://learn-rdm.eu/en/rdm-readiness-survey/ and in Spanish at http://learn-rdm.eu/encuesta-rdm/
