Why write a Data Management Plan: webinar (UM)

Since the Amsterdam Call for Action on Open Science in 2016 and the 2021 decree on compliance with scientific integrity requirements by public research institutions, the data management plan, or DMP, has become one of the essential documents for any research project.

However, the PGD and the principles it promotes are not new, and traces of it can be found as early as the 1980s at giants such as NASA.

But then, what exactly is a PGD? What are the principles that this document aims to promote, and where do they come from?

Why is it an essential document for any research project?

If you want to become an expert on PGD, then this webinar is for you.
