Alien CSI Data Management Plan

Alien CSI wants to follow best practices in the management of the data it collects. This includes following principles of FAIR Data. That is to say, managing data so that it is findable, accessible, interoperable and re-usable. Towards this goal, the management committee have drafted a data management plan, based upon the template for the European Commission's H2020 data management plans.

This is intended to be a reference document for the participants in the action, but also a living document that can be discussed and amended as necessary during the action.
