Q&A: Aligning Research Data Management Across Europe

On 27 January 2021, Science Europe presented the second, extended version of its Practical Guide to the International Alignment of Research Data Management. The extended version contains a new chapter with guidance on the evaluation of Data Management Plans (DMPs), a so-called DMP evaluation rubric. The new, extended version of the guide was presented during a webinar with more than 260 participants.

As it was unfortunately not possible to address all questions participants asked during the launch event, this document presents the answers to the questions asked to both Science Europe and the webinar speakers.
