**Introduction**

The focus of SUREAL-23 is on the particulate emissions from contemporary light
duty direct injection (DI) internal combustion (IC) engines (Diesel and
gasoline) that will be addressed by homologation standards beyond Euro-6,
especially for nanoparticles smaller than the current regulation cut-off limit
of 23 nm with the threshold of at least 10 nm.

Within this context, the objectives of SUREAL-23 are:

  * to complement existing standard instrumentation by introducing extensive size and composition characterization of exhaust particles especially for sizes below 23 nm, 

  

  * to support future emissions compliance through technical development in real driving emissions measurement, 

  

  * to fully characterize the nature of the particulate emissions which potentially evade current emission control technology and regulations, 

  

  * to contribute to future definitions of particulate emissions limits of the “Super Low Emission Vehicles”. 

  

The aim of WP7 is to establish effective project management bodies and
decision-making procedures, monitor the progress of the project activities
versus important objectives & project milestones and to apply relevant
corrective actions if necessary. Moreover, it includes the dissemination of
the project's results and maximize its impact to the most wide and relevant
audience, as well as the establishment of links with relevant projects in EU,
USA and Japan. Finally, the creation of an exploitation plan defining the
technologies which can contribute to current regulatory measurements and can
be taken up into new products, has to be performed.

This deliverable, _D7.7 “Data management plan (Final Version)”,_ aims to
update the 2  nd  version of the DMP (D7.6 “ _Data management plan (2 nd
Version) _ ”) about the management and accessibility of project’s data and
findings with emphasis in those that are accessible via the H2020 Open
Research Data Project (OpenAIRE).

The updated DMP includes descriptions about a) the data / reports generated
and provided openly to third parties b) the data sharing (taking into
considerations any legitimate reasons for not sharing data) and d) data
archiving and preservation; for the second half of the project (1839M).

#  Short Project Overview

A large proportion of the total number of particles emitted from direct
injection engines are below 23 nm and the EU aims to regulate those emissions
and impose limits for new light-duty vehicles. Before SUREAL-23, accounting
for sub-23 nm particles was not a straightforward choice due to the absence of
accurate quantification methods, especially under real driving conditions. The
project aimed to increase the knowledge regarding the nature of sub-23 nm
particles from different engine/fuel combinations under different operating
conditions. It also aimed to overcome the relevant barriers by introducing
novel measurement technology for concentration, size and composition
measurements. In parallel, state of the art aerosol measurement techniques
were advanced for better compatibility with sub-23 nm exhaust particles as
well as onboard use. The developed instrumentation was used to assess sub-23
nm particle emissions from both Diesel and GDI vehicles accounting for effects
of the fuel, lubricants, after-treatment and driving conditions for existing
and near-future vehicle configurations. The most suitable concepts for on-
board use have been evaluated accordingly. The project provided measurement
technologies that will complement and extend established particle measurement
protocols, sustaining the extensive investments that have already been made by
industry and regulation authorities. It delivered a systematic
characterisation of sub23 nm particles to facilitate future particle emission
regulations as well as to assess any potential trade-off between advances in
ICE technology towards increased efficiency and emissions. The consortium
consisted of European and US organizations, which are leaders in the field of
aerosol and particle technology.

#  OBJECTIVES

The deliverable _D7.7. “Data management plan (Final Version)”_ objectives are
to describe: a) the data and reports generated and provided openly to third
parties b) the data sharing and c) the data archiving and preservation during
the second half of the project (18-39M) including provisions for the data
preservation beyond the project.

SUREAL-23 is registered in the OpenAIRE Project - in a _volunteer basis_ \- in
order to widely share its findings (Figure 1). For this purpose specific
information/outcomes was deposited in ZENODO (  _https://zenodo.org/_ )  ; the
European repository for the EU funded research.

It is mentioned that the creation and update of the current DMP was
facilitated by the OpenAIRE proposed web tool _DMPonline_ (
_https://dmponline.dcc.ac.uk_ )  .

#  DATA SUMMARY

SUREAL-23 project generates:

  1. experimental results and findings related to the assessment of the developed sub-23nm particle sampling and measurement techniques (6 in total) and their demonstration, as described and discussed in reports delivered by M39; 

  

  2. experimental data and scientific findings based on a test matrix that combines sub-23 nm particle emissions measurements emitted by Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI), Diesel and CNG engines / vehicles with standard and under development measurement and sampling techniques. 

  

  

The up to date mature outcomes of the project were presented in relevant
international conferences and published in scientific journals.

Additionally, selected scientific reports and publications are available (in
*.pdf formats) in the _open access_ European repository ZENODO, thus in
OpenAIRE. Project’s public deliverables are also available in ZENODO /
OpenAIRE and project’s website as well.

Final data and reports are stored in Coordinator's (APTL/CPERI/CERTH) data
server. Completed deliverables and reports are also available in the common
_private_ "members area" accessed through project's website  (
_http://sureal-23.cperi.certh.gr_ ) (Figure 2).

_Figure 2. Common, private "members area" accessed through project's website._

Project’s scientific outcomes are expected to be useful to the scientific and
academic society related to engine development, aerosol science, emission
control and particle measurements. Moreover, the automotive industry and the
instrumentation developers could be also interested. Last but not least
vehicle particulate emissions regulators is expected to pay special attention
on the sub-23 nm emission measurements, as already expressed during the
Clustering meetings of the GV-02-2016 research projects organized by INEA and
the two public events organized by the project i.e the Joint Workshop (10-11
October, 2018, Thessaloniki) and the Final Workshop (10 December, 2019, Lyon)
(see Deliverables _D7.2 “First Dissemination Report”_ and _D7.3 “Final
Dissemination Report”_ ).

#  FAIR DATA

##  Making data findable

Identifiability is obtained for each report / deliverable by filling a
standard introductory table that includes information such as author's and co-
author's names and affiliation, associated work-package and technical activity
(task), date (due and delivered), responsible partner and (if any) involved
partners.

During document's preparation a versioning strategy is followed in order to
facilitate the document's exchange among partners.

All relevant scientific publications have a Digital Object Identifier (DOI)
issued by the Journal itself, while the project’s reports / deliverables
selected to be deposited at ZENODO repository, receive a DOI as well.
Additionally, each deposition at ZENODO is linked with related keywords that
at least include the “sub-23 nm particle emissions” term. Item’s versioning is
also sustained by ZENODO (all versions are cited by using the same DOI).

##  Making data openly accessible

As already mentioned, selected Open Access project's data / reports,
deliverables, research papers and public presentations are deposited in the
European repository for EC funded research ZENODO. Consequently, items are
accessible via OpenAIRE.

During the whole duration of the project (1-39M) the below selected items were
deposited at ZENODO with author’s permission (Figure 3a & b), including
project’s public deliverables with technical / scientific content. The rest of
project’s public deliverables relevant to management such as dissemination
reports, DMP and exploitation plan are open accessed via project’s website, in
the “NEWS” section (  _http://sureal-23.cperi.certh.gr/public-deliverables/_ )
.

_Figure 3a. List of deposited SUREAL-23 items at ZENODO repository (1/2)_

_Figure 4b. List of deposited SUREAL-23 items at ZENODO repository (2/2)_

As clearly stated at the Consortium Agreement (CA), pre-existing data is of
each partner's intellectual property. Such data is subject to each project
partner's policy governing intellectual property.

In case of "close" and confidential data / reports / outcomes produced in the
frame of the project, they will be available only after an invention
disclosure or provisional patent is filed. This mainly concerns either the
data of the novel measurement instrumentation or the emission data of engines
or vehicles that automotive industry provided under specific terms of use.

Assessed research results were shared within the scientific community via
presentations at conferences, workshops and other dissemination events (see
Deliverable _D7.2_ “ _First Dissemination Report_ ” and _D7.3 “Final
Dissemination Report”_ ).

Whenever available, the DOI of each published item is given at the project’s
website, section “NEWS” (e.g. Figure 5).

_Figure 5. Example of web announcement of project’s publication, including
information about its DOI._

##  Making data interoperable

Interoperability of produced reports and outcomes is obtained by following
standard measurement protocols such as the Particle Measurement Program (PMP)
protocol, standard driving cycles for vehicle homologation (e.g. New European
Driving Cycle (NEDC), Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedure
(WLTP)), as well as European and/or international certified measurement
methods.

Additionally, a standard technical and scientific vocabulary is used in order
to document all research outputs.

##  Increase data re-use

The open data / reports are available for re-use through the practices already
described at paragraph 3.2. by the time that each report is completed,
delivered and approved by EC.

Stakeholders from research, industry and regulatory authorities - that already
mentioned in chapter 2 - is expected to be interested in the data/reports re-
use. It is also mentioned that EC and especially Directorate-General "Growth"
(DG-GRO), as well as the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe
(UNECE), Particle Measurement Programme have already express their interest of
re-using SUREAL-23 open reports for regulatory purposes.

Re-use of the most remarkable findings of the project will be also ensured via
a _joint_ _publication_ of the three GV-2-2016 “sub-23nm” clustering projects
PEMS4NANO (G.A.724145), DownToTen (G.A. 724085 ) and SUREAL-23 that is
currently under preparation.

The above provisions for data accessibility and re-use do not apply for the
results and produced knowledge that considered confidential or IP protected.
In such cases - that mainly referred to parts or concepts of the developed
measurement techniques - the involved partners are investigating manners of IP
protection (see D7.4 “ _Exploitation Plan_ ”).

#  ALLOCATION OF RESOURCES

Experimental data and related reports are produced, prepared and assessed in
the frame of the technical and dissemination work-packages of SUREAL-23
project which covers the required costs of man-effort and any other required
goods or services.

Mrs. Eleni Papaioannou coordinates the project, as well as the Data Management
activities, while Mr. Apostolos Tsakis is responsible for the data storage and
security and Mrs. Penelope Baltzopoulou for the OpenAIRE and Zenodo
repositories.

#  DATA SECURITY

With regards to data security and storage, final experimental data and
completed scientific and technical reports are stored on Coordinator's Data
Server which is mirrored, routinely backed up and daily versioned.

Data security is ensured by implementation of local (intra-laboratory) and
central (CERTH's information department) firewalls.

#  ETHICAL ASPECTS

No ethical issues are expected as already assessed according to EU rules and
regulations and described at the SUREAL-23 "Description of Work" (DoW)
document.
