#  _Executive summary_

This first version of the data plan management is a core deliverable of the
LLR project. It briefly describes [7] categories of data the LLR project may
collect or generate for each work package and details the means of storage,
preservation and sharing foreseen by the LLR consortium.

For this first version of the DMP, grids will be filled as precisely as
possible. Nevertheless, due to the recent beginning of the project and since
the first semester will mostly be dedicated to the laser construction; the
beneficiaries might not be able to provide detailed description of the
datasets.

An updated version will be delivered during month 18.

#  Introduction

**LLR project and objectives**

Laser Lightning Rod is a European project funded by the EC under the H2020
Programme. Gathering 7 leaders in the domains of nonlinear propagation of
intense laser in the atmosphere, laser control of electric discharges,
lightning physics, aeronautics and high power laser development, the LLR
project aims to investigate and develop a new type of lightning protection
based on the use of upward lightning discharges initiated by a high-
repetition-rate multi-terawatt laser.

As a H2020 and a Future Emerging Technology project, the LLR project commits
to fostering sharing, dissemination and reuse of research data and results, so
as to ensure their take-up by research organizations, PHD students or private
sector. This broadened access to research data mainly intends to

1) allow any third party to follow and validate the results reached by the LLR
team; 2) ensure data access and reuse by any searcher, student or industrial
as much as possible; 3) maximize the impact of LLR research.

Thus, the LLR consortium fully supports the ORD policy recently implemented by
the European Commission and delivers hereinafter a data management plan aiming
to handle the research data that might be collected or generated during the
project.

#  LLR Data management plan

##  Purposes

According to the obligation to disseminate results and ensure open access to
data, the Consortium delivers this first version of the DMP for the LLR
project based on the FAIR data principle. With 4 years of data, generated by 7
partners across Europe, the LLR project undoubtedly requires a detailed but
nonetheless flexible data management plan. This document sets the strategy and
tools the LLR consortium wishes to adopt regarding the management, storage and
dissemination of all relevant data the project might generate or the
researchers might collect. By defining the data management process from the
project’s beginning, the Consortium aims to ease and ensure data access and
dissemination.

##  Method and tools

Based on the EC template and guidelines, the LLR data management plan follows
the FAIR data principles and chose to develop a management grid composed of 5
sections:

  1. The data summary section gives an overview of the dataset’s content; 

  

  2. The storage and access section specifies the hosting, storage, access and security details of the dataset, in order for the data to be findable, accessible and interoperable; 

  

  3. The third section defines the conditions of dissemination during the project and long-term preservation after the project’s lifespan; 

  

  4. The last section allows the beneficiaries to specify whether there is any other issue regarding the dataset, legal or ethical e.g. 

  

  

The DMP will be updated on a regular basis, following the project’s
milestones:

In order to ensure the implementation of the DMP and the quality of ORD
system, the Consortium chose to define a responsibility chain: the coordinator
stays at the head of data management and coordination as for the timeframe,
storage and accessibility, while each WP lead will be in charge of the
corresponding WP datasets regarding its quality and general coherence, storage
and accessibility. At last, each beneficiary will be responsible for the
content, the storage and protection of the data he directly produces.
