About NWO

National research council: granting and institutes with a yearly budget of ~635 Million Euro. Indirect governmental funding for research (‘tweede geldstroom’) Support for researchers aiming at scientific excellence Organization of competitions and selection of projects via peer review Beneficiaries: approx. 5500 scientists Promotion and funding of knowledge utilization

Presentation Notes

In vogelvlucht…

NWO's view on open access to data

Data resulting from publicly funded research should be made available for reuse by researchers whenever possible

– Collection, curation and deposition of data are part and parcel of scientific research

– Aims: efficient use of resources, visibility and transparancy of research output, replicability of research, repurposing of data, stimulus for new research ideas

Open Data is not: data freely available on Internet – Open access whenever possible, ‘restricted access’ where needed

Standards for careful use and sustainability : – NWO-funded researchers are obliged to handle data in accordance

with existing codes of conduct; codes may differ per discipline! – data sets to be stored in a digital repository with an internationally

accepted quality mark

Presentation Notes

In filmpje Neelie Kroes: �Managed data: Avoids duplication and boosts efficiency Makes research more visible Makes results more transparant & verifiable Makes data more reusable NWO kan (vanuit Regeling Subsidies) toegang eisen tot wetenschappelijke data uit projecten die door NWO (mede) zijn gefinancierd, voor hergebruik door onderzoekers.

NWO’s route towards Open Data

NWO investigates – how other funding bodies (H2020!) approach rules and

requirements for data management – collects best practices

NWO conducts pilots (at ZonMw and ALW) NWO Institutes follow the NWO rules. NWO organizes/initiates/participates in

– debates – tasks forces – exchange of ideas with stakeholders (university

libraries, data centers, etc.) In general: NWO aims to increase awareness for emerging policy changes

Policy implementation and grant proposals

NWO is working on a two-stage model (simple and efficient) – Data section to be requested in application form with concise

description of envisaged data management – Full data management plan required only after awarding of

grant Open issues:

– Idea: data section does not affect selection, but reviewers or advisory committee can provide suggestions/recommendations

– Idea: request for an initial indication of the costs involved – Idea: research can only start after the data management plan

has been approved

Collaboration is crucial Layered model (federative) for data storage, cataloguing, access

– with universities – across universities: DANS, 3TU.Datacentrum, DTLS – SURFsara and even internationally

Intermediaries / data stewards: – “take away hassle” – professionalization of the chain is needed

Is the timing right ?

Is there an adequate technical infrastructure for data management?

– at universities and research institutes – at DANS, 3TU.Datacentrum, DTLS (life sciences) – national data infrastructure (SURFsara)

‘Awareness, skills, incentives’ (cf. Kroes) among researchers and institutions at the right level? 3TU.Datacentrum and DANS initiatives demonstrate a lot of grass root progress and deepening of insights in principles and practices!
