**Introduction**

This deliverable contains the current status for:

  * Quality & Risk Management procedures 

  

  * Communication & Management Tools 

  

  * Data Management Plan 

  

#  Quality Management

Ricardo Silva (Vilabs) takes the role of Risk and Quality Manager (RQM) to
identify, assess and manage administrative and technical risks, as well as the
implementation of the quality procedures and the verification of the project
results.

Quality Management protocol

The RQM consults with the project partners as activities are designed,
implemented and evaluated. This becomes a _de_ ​ _facto_ ​responsibility of
the coordination team, providing a solid ground for successful, timely and
quality implementation of the project activities.

Deliverables

All project deliverables are approved in the following process:

Activity Leader -> RQM Review -> Coordination Team Review -> Consortium
Approval

A _first deliverable template​_ has been made available to partners.​ Risk
Assessment and Management:

Risk management requires identification, control and recording of risks,
highlighting of the consequences and the appropriate management actions.

The RQM is responsible for ensuring that the activities are realised within
the proposed timeline and delays are kept to a minimum. Beyond the annual
milestones, the RQM will pay special attention to the interdependence between
tasks.

The RQM will monitor and evaluate the risk matrix (probability and impact
assessment) throughout the project lifetime, additionally undertaking steps to
decreasing the probability of the risks with highest probability.

Each partner will have the responsibility to report immediately to the RQM any
risky situation that may arise and may affect the project objectives or their
successful completion. Any change in time schedule of deliverables or in the
allocated budget must be reported to the RQM. In case of problems or delays,
the Coordination Team will be consulted and may take the necessary actions. In
case no resolution is reached, the Consortium will be consulted and will
establish mitigation plans to reduce the impact of risk occurring.

The table below summarizes an indicative list of the risks identified by the
project consortium and their related contingency plans in brief.

The Project Coordinator is the main contact point to the EC and coordinates
the preparation of all required official reports, amendments and project
reviews for the EC summarizing progress on project tasks, deliverables and
budget usage and reporting any deviations and corrective actions put in place.
On the other hand, Activity Leaders respond to the EC via the coordinator on
any issues raised in periodic reports or with deliverables relating to
particular WPs thus ensuring a satisfactory response is provided.

#  Data Management Plan

STARTUP LIGHTHOUSE takes the protection of personal and private data
seriously, especially as it is a sensitive topic for many startups and
scaleups. All information potentially shared by scaleups (personal data and
intellectual property) is only used for the purposes of the project and all
rights (including Intellectual Property Rights) are kept exclusively by the
scaleups themselves. All data are stored in internal project databases
(spreadsheets stored in a shared drive exclusive to the project consortium) or
EU compliant platforms such as F6S.

A multi-dimensional consent mechanism will be implemented, where participants
will be invited to consent to their involvement in the project activities and
define their preferences on data disclosure, data storage, preservation,
opening and sharing of their own data and data created.

Consortium partners, in cooperation with the project participants, can opt not
to release specific data related to the financial planning, valuation or exit
strategy of participating startups.

STARTUP LIGHTHOUSE maintains the required protection of personal data and full
compliance to all the Data Regulations in force in national and European
legislation about the protection of personal data and has established all the
technical means in their reach to avoid the loss, misuse, alteration, access
to unauthorised persons and theft of the data provided to this entity,
notwithstanding that security measures on the Internet are not impregnable. As
data controllers, the project coordination team, who is also responsible for
the Impact assessment and the conduction of research in the project, will file
a request to “ _The​ Hellenic Data Protection Authority_ ”​ describing
thoroughly the purposes of the research, the process of data gathering,
processing, analysing which will be in line with the provisions of Greek Law
2472/1997 (and 3471/2006 regarding electronic communications) and will fully
comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which replaces
the EU’s Data Protection Directive 95/46 EC and will be fully respecting the
privacy and data protection rights and Ethics guidelines in data storage and
treatment within H2020.

Regarding knowledge management and protection: Eventual production of reports
or insights from the data collected through the project will be published on
LIGHTHOUSE platforms free for anyone to access.

IPRs will be controlled in accordance to general EC policies concerning
ownership, exploitation rights, confidentiality, commercial utilisation of
results, availability of the information and deliverables to other EU funded
projects and disclaiming rules. Specific actions will be taken in order to
satisfy the basic intellectual property regime that publication rights will be
owned by those who produce the respective results (either employers or
employees depending on their country’s regime), whereas distribution within
the project should be granted for free (decision of non-disclosure should be
taken by the consortium with adequate compensation to the partners).

The basic principle is that foreground knowledge, therefore created within (or
resulting from) the project belongs to the project partner who generated it.
If knowledge is generated jointly and separate parts cannot be distinguished,
it will be jointly owned, unless the contractors concerned agree on a
different solution. The granting of Access Rights to jointly owned foreground
will be royalty-free and the granting of Access Rights to own foreground will
either be on royalty-free or on the basis of fair and reasonable conditions.

Regarding background, the granting of Access Rights will be royalty-free for
the execution of work during the project, unless otherwise agreed before
signature of the Grant Agreement. For the purposes of policy development and
the further promotion of innovation, the European Community will be given a
non-exclusive royalty-free license to use the public knowledge generated in
the project, such as reports, methodologies or case material. Confidential
information relating to individuals or companies will be collected and
protected in strict accordance with EU and national regulations and best
practice regarding data confidentiality.

##  1\. DATA SUMMARY

All data collection by the project is related broadly to the following
purposes:

  * Participant Selection 

  

  * Activity Logistics & Organisation 

  

  * Activity Evaluation/Feedback 

  

  * Impact Assessment 

  

  * Policy Recommendations 

  

  1. Participant Selection: 

  

  

Startup information will be collected exclusively through the F6S platform,
which is complying to GDPR. This information is collected through an
application form, a general example being provided _here_ ​ .​

  2. Activity Logistics & Organisation: 

  

  

Selected startups and other consenting participants will provide basic
information related to the organisation of the activities - from
identification needed for security purposes to dietary requirements.

  3. Activity Evaluation/Feedback: 

  

  

Participants will be asked to evaluate their experience with the project with
the aim of improving activities and developing best practices.

  4. Impact Assessment: 

  

  

Information related to business performance will be collected from
participating companies to assess the impact of the project, comparing to the
project KPIs, which are simplified below.

  5. Policy Recommendations: 

  

  

A mixed strategy of surveys and interviews with selected participants will be
executed to develop policy recommendations, collecting their opinions on the
subject matter.

Overall, the project aims, at most, to collect data from 120 startups and, for
Policy Recommendations, to extend that survey to a community of over 3000
individuals across Europe.

All data is stored in project folders, only accessible to the project
consortium.

Data will become public to promote startups within the scope of project
activities (e.g.: pitch-deck to investors) or for the Impact Assessment
(aggregated and anonymous) and Policy Recommendations (aggregated and
anonymous, unless it’s an agreed testimonial/opinion).

All public documents will be double checked with the original sources of data
before publication.

##  2\. FAIR DATA

Most of the data collected is related to specific companies, so data is
identified by associating it with the company name.

Most of the data is also private, so re-use will be limited to ensure the
rights of the participants.

Activity Evaluation/Feedback, Impact Assessment and Policy Recommendations
data will be made public, after being aggregated and anonymised. This will be
provided in Google Sheets formats, so open to anyone to access.

This data can be used by all other organisations looking to support businesses
across the world to understand the potential impact of specific activities.
The data should remain available indefinitely. **3\. ALLOCATION OF RESOURCES**

The costs are negligible as they can be stored using Google Drive.

The project coordinator is responsible for ensuring proper data management in
this project.

##  4\. DATA SECURITY & DATA PRESERVATION

The same provisions for data security and conservation as the platforms used:
F6S and Google Drive.

STARTUP LIGHTHOUSE’s generated data about the development of these activities
will be archived for self-sustainability purposes in order to allow the
consortium to carry on the activities at a later stage or to provide this
information freely to any who would continue the work of the project after its
end.

Data owners retain the right to be forgotten via communicating to Startup
Lighthouse’s established communication channels.

##  5\. ETHICAL ASPECTS

The main ethical considerations of the project and its data are related to
privacy. Each startup applicant will have to consent with the terms and
conditions made explicit here: _http://startuplighthouse.eu/startup-
lighthouse-terms-conditions/_

_“Startup Lighthouse takes the protection of personal and private data
seriously. All information shared by (personal data and intellectual property)
is only used for the purposes of the project and all rights (including
Intellectual Property Rights) are kept exclusively by the applicants
themselves. All data are stored in internal databases (exclusive to the
organisers) or EU compliant platforms such as F6S._

_We will not disclose any information to any third parties not directly
involved in Startup Lighthouse activities that you are taking part in._

_Startup Lighthouse maintains the required protection of personal data and
full compliance to all the Data Regulations in force in national and European
legislation about the protection of personal data and has established all the
technical means in their reach to avoid the loss, misuse, alteration, access
to unauthorised persons and theft of the data provided to this entity,
notwithstanding that security measures on the Internet are not impregnable._

_You consent your involvement in the project activities and accept these
principles on data disclosure, data storage, preservation, opening and sharing
of own data and data created._

_You agree that the Startup Lighthouse project has the right to the use of
your company’s image and profile in case you are selected, and that of your
team strictly for media publication as well as to inform you of future events
and activities, strictly related to Startup Lighthouse project.”_

The following deliverables will explore the Ethical Aspects in more detail.

D7.2 : GEN Requirement No. 2 / D1.6 "Ethical and Legal Issues"

An additional deliverable must be foreseen in WP1: D1.6 "Ethical and Legal
Issues". The deliverable must provide detailed information and explain how
H2020 ethical principles will be fully respected both as concerns the
involvement of humans and the processing of personal data. As to ethics issues
in general, the deliverable must include, but not be necessarily limited to,
the following: - before the beginning of an activity raising an ethical issue,
copy of any ethics committee opinion required under national law must
submitted; - the applicant must provide a thorough analysis of the ethics
issues raised by this project and the measures that will be taken to ensure
compliance with the ethical standards of H2020; - templates must be provided
for Informed Consent Forms and Information Sheets (in language and terms
understandable to participants).

D7.3 : H - Requirement No. 3 [6]

As concerns humans,the deliverable must include, but not be necessarily
limited to, the following: - details on the procedures and criteria that will
be used to identify/recruit research participants must be provided; - detailed
information must be provided on the informed consent procedures that will be
implemented for the participation of humans; - templates of the informed
consent forms and information sheet must be submitted; - the applicant must
provide details about the measures taken to prevent the risk of enhancing
vulnerability/stigmatisation of individuals/groups.

D7.4 : POPD - Requirement No. 4 [6]

As concerns data protection, the deliverable must include the following: -
detailed information on the procedures that will be implemented for personal
data collection, storage, protection, retention and destruction and on how
such acts of processing will fully comply with national and EU data protection
rules, with particular reference to the EU General Data Protection Regulation,
in compliance with the accountability principle; - detailed information on the
physical and logical security measures that will be adopted for the protection
of personal data, with particular reference to sensitive data, where
applicable; - detailed information on the informed consent procedures that
will be implemented in regard to the collection, storage and protection of
personal data; - justification in case of collection and/or processing of
personal sensitive data; - explicit confirmation that the data used are
publicly available; - in case of data not publicly available, the provision of
relevant authorisations; - detailed information on the use of secondary data
to demonstrate full compliance with ethical principles and applicable data
protection laws.

##  6\. OTHER ISSUES

All organisations related to the project are adapting their processes to GDPR,
which makes this Data Management Plan subject to changes. Next versions will
update the situation.

The Impact Assessment framework is, at the time of this writing, still being
developed, which will influence the data collection methodology. A document
circulated among the Consortium members will outline the evaluation strategy
of the Startup Lighthouse project that has the objective to assess the project
activities and results in different levels, including both the quantitative
and qualitative variables, while in parallel a policy related framework will
be formulated to assess the involved ecosystems.

Besides the literature research for identifying the proper measures and
standards for assessing each ecosystem, key players and participants will be
selected to participate in semi-structured interviews, surveys through
questionnaires and they will provide testimonials, upon their approval, to
analyse and identify the potential and existing barriers of each local
ecosystem. The following image summarises the key collection moments for each
performed activity, the different stakeholder categories and the method of
data collection. This is the initial plan:

Any changes related to the Impact Assessment and data gathering, analysing and
processing will be thoroughly described at D1.2 Annual progress report. The
overall framework and the results will be fully described in D1.3 Impact
Assessment and policy recommendations report, which will be submitted in M24.
Before the submission of the final deliverable, some preliminary results will
be publicly available on the project website and they will be disseminated to
any interested parties. The participants of this research will be fully
informed about their participation, the withhold of data and the right to
retain their data after filing a request. All participants will be asked to
sign a written consent form, before proceeding.

Responsibility for the data protection compliance remains within the Project
Coordination team.
