#  INTRODUCTION

This Data Management Plan (DMP) describes the COMSOS data management methods.
The DMP includes a description of methodology and standards to be followed and
what data sets are exploitable or made accessible for verification and re-use.
The Data Management Plan will be a dynamic tool that is updated regularly. By
these actions, the project supports the European Commission’s goal of shared
data and open science that serves innovation and growth.

Additionally, this document pools the results generated in the project that
may lead to intellectual property (IP). The DMP will thus contain all forms of
knowledge generated by the project. Whenever significant changes arise in the
project, such as

  * New data sets 

  

  * Changes in consortium policies 

  

  * New, exploitable results 

  

A new version of the DMP shall be uploaded taking into account any major
developments. In any case, the DMP shall be updated as part of the mid-term
(M21) and final project reviews of COMSOS (M42).

#  DATA SUMMARY

The objective of the DMP is to provide a structured form of repository for the
data, measurements, facts and know-how gathered during the project, for the
benefit of a more systematic progress in science. Where the knowledge
developed in the EU-funded project is not governed by intellectual property
for the purpose of commercial exploitation and business development, it is
important to valorize the results of project activities by facilitating take-
up of key data and information for further elaboration and progress by other
projects and players in Europe. The DMP includes information on:

  * The handling of research data during and after the end of the project 

  

  * What data will be collected, processed and/or generated 

  

  * Which methodology and standards will be applied 

  

  * Whether data will be shared/made open access and 

  

  * How data will be curated and preserved (including after the end of the project). 

  

##  Data generated in the COMSOS project

Section 9 lists data generated in the **COMSOS** project per partner,
including data set identifier (ID), description (origin, nature and size),
potential use/users, standards and metadata, data sharing including how the
data is shared, access, embargo periods, dissemination means, required
software/tools for using the data, restrictions including the motivation and
repository to be used.

#  FAIR DATA

##  Processing, standards and metadata

It is then necessary to define the data sets to be gathered within the project
lifetime, both through indexing and description of data origin, nature, scale
and purpose. To facilitate referencing and reuse of data, appropriate meta-
data (data about the data) shall be provided. This implies also a policy on
the ways data can or will be shared. Finally, plans on how the data will be
stored long-term need to be expressed.

The DMP shall be elaborated on behalf of each COMSOS partner to begin with,
and may be redesigned to represent the data repository for COMSOS as a whole
if deemed necessary or more coherent. In detail, the following information
will be requested from each partner in the form of two distinct tables for
data generated and results (exploitable outcome) generated:

##  Data collection, handling and processing

Description of the data that will be generated or collected, its origin (in
case it is collected), nature (in case it is result of original work or
elaboration) and whether it underpins a scientific publication. For results,
the nature/form of the outcome should be defined. A description of the
technical purpose of the data/results will be given. The target end user and
the existence (or not) of similar data/results and the possibilities for
integration and reuse may be indicated.

##  Standards and methodologies, interoperability and reuse of data

Reference to existing suitable standards, codes, regulations, guidelines or
best practices the data have complied to and/or are akin to. If these do not
exist, an outline on methodology and how metadata can/will be created should
be given. There should be a description of the procedures that will be put in
place for long-term preservation of the data: how long the data should be
preserved, what is approximated end volume, what the associated costs are and
how these are to be covered.

##  Data sharing and ownership, IPR management

In accordance with the Consortium Agreement, results are owned by the Party
that generates them. Any restrictions regarding data sharing, ownership and
IPR are further detailed in Section 9.

##  Dissemination and Exploitation

Deliverables defined as publications will be published in green or gold open
access, peer-reviewed scientific journals if possible. Journal submission will
be reviewed by the PCM before the submission according to the procedures
defined in the Consortium agreement as follows:

**Consortium Agreement section 8.4.2.1**

_During the Project and for a period of 1 year after the end of the Project,
the dissemination of own Results by one or several Parties including but not
restricted to publications and presentations, shall be governed by the
procedure of Article 29.1 of the Grant Agreement subject to the following
provisions._

_Prior notice of any planned publication shall be given to the other Parties
at least 30 calendar days before the publication. Any objection to the planned
publication shall be made in accordance with the Grant Agreement in writing to
the Coordinator and to the Party or Parties proposing the dissemination within
14 calendar days after receipt of the notice. If no objection is made within
the time limit stated above, the publication is permitted_ .

Section 9 includes a detailed overview of how exploitable outcome will be
brought forward and developed. For data, how these will be shared, including
access procedures, embargo periods (if any), outlines of technical mechanisms
for dissemination. Identification of the repository where data will be stored,
if already existing and identified, indicating in particular the type of
repository (institutional, standard repository for the discipline, etc.).

#  ALLOCATION OF RESOURCES

At the beginning of the research project the research consortium will decide
and agree on the tasks, roles, responsibilities and rights relating to data
collection, dataset management and data use.

#  DATA SECURITY

The datasets for detailed analysis generated from demonstration units will be
archived at the premises of POLITO for data security reasons and in addition
archived in a common and – if feasible – open data repository depending on the
decision of project steering group. POLITO is responsible for curating,
preserving, disseminating, and deleting the datasets in its possession.
Retention time for curated datasets is the same as other project materials at
POLITO, by default twenty years.

#  ETHICS AND PRIVACY

The project will follow the ethics appraisal procedure in H2020. The aim is to
ensure that the provisions on ethics regulation and rules are respected. The
research will comply with applicable international, EU and national
legislation. Ethical aspects will be considered by all consortium participants
and monitored by the Coordinator (WP1).

Specific requirement in accodance with the Grant Agreement:

**D6.1 : POPD - Requirement No. 1 [12]**

6.1. The applicant must confirm that the ethical standards and guidelines of
Horizon2020 will be rigorously applied, regardless of the country in which the
research is carried out. 6.3. The applicant must provide details on the
material which will be imported to/exported from EU and provide the adequate
authorisations. 4.3. Justification must be given in case of collection and/or
processing of personal sensitive data. 4.4. Detailed information must be
provided on the procedures that will be implemented for data collection,
storage, protection, retention and destruction and confirmation that they
comply with national and EU legislation.

#  OTHER ISSUES

#  COMSOS DATA SETS IDENTIFIER - GENERAL

Call Identifier: H2020-JTI-FCH-2017-1

Type of action: RIA

Project number: 779481

Start project: 01.01.2018

End project: 30.06.2021

Project focus:

The ComSos project aims at strengthening the European SOFC industry’s world-
leading position for SOFC products in the range of 10-60 kW totally 450 kWe.
Through this project, manufacturers prepare for developing capacity for serial
manufacturing, sales and marketing of mid FC CHP products. All manufacturers
will validate new product segments in collaboration with the respective
customers and confirm product performance, the business case and size, and
test in real life the distribution channel including maintenance and service.
In function of the specific segments, the system will be suitable for volumes
from few 10’s to several 1,000 systems per year.

The key objective of the ComSos project is to validate and demonstrate fuel
cell based combined heat and power solutions in the mid-sized power ranges of
10-12 kW, 20-25 kW, and 50-60 kW (referred to as Mini FC-CHP). The outcome
gives proof of the superior advantages of such systems, underlying business
models, and key benefits for the customer. The technology and product
concepts, in the aforementioned power range, has been developed in Europe
under supporting European frameworks such as the FCH-JU.
