Extension of the Open Research Data Pilot in Horizon 2020

In the context of open science the goal of the European Commission is that the research data from Horizon 2020 projects are deposited as open data in a digital repository. From the Horizon 2020 program in 2017, the Open Research Data Pilot will be extended to all fields. This means that creating a Data Management Plan is required as part of the pilot. Opting out remains possible.
