Open Research Data: data management plans will be introduced in project funding - SNF

"The SNSF is introducing a new requirement in project funding: as of October 2017, researchers will have to submit a data management plan as an integral part of their research proposal.

Data management plans are an important step towards Open Research Data. A number of initiatives around the globe are striving to make science and, in particular, research data accessible to all. The Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) agrees with the underlying principles of these initiatives."
