deliverable in Work Package 1 Project Administration and Dissemination, Task 1.1 Project
administrative and financial coordination.
AUTOFLEX is structured along six work packages (WPs), each addressing critical research
and development objectives. These work packages comprise of tasks and deliverables, and a
specific chapter on work breakdown structure (WBS) is included.
The AUTOFLEX schedule and list of important milestones are included and presented as a
Gantt chart and with textual presentation of initially identified critical paths leading up to the
major milestones at the end of the project.

This report addresses the Data Management in AUTOFLEX and introduces the project’s
approach to data and the approach which the AUTOFLEX consortium will follow to manage
research data “Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable” (FAIR).
Ethical aspects related to data collection, generation and sharing have been considered. All
datasets will be uploaded, stored and handled in accordance with national and European rules
on data protection and privacy. Metadata will be added to all datasets, and instructions on
how to upload, store, publish and preserve research data is provided in this document.
AUTOFLEX will use Zenodo, a trusted and OpenAire compliant data repository to comply
with the FAIR data principles.
Each dataset will be given a persistent identifier (Digital Object Identifier, DOI), supplied with
relevant metadata, and linked to the project acronym, full project name and grant agreement
number. Publications and underlying research data will be linked, and a Creative Commons
license will regulate reuse of the AUTOFLEX research data. Data security arrangements are
defined.
The DMP is a living document and will be updated as the project proceeds. The final version
of the DMP will be made available at the end of the project. It will include instructions for
how to access and reuse open research data from AUTOFLEX.
