DAMAP-PL workshop: A tool to simplify the preparation of data management plans
Resources and Videos
The DAMAP–PL inter-project grant, funded under EOSC Gravity, is organising an on-site workshop on 27 October 2026. Hosted at Gdańsk University of Technology, the workshop will bring together researchers and research-support staff from the host institution, as well as from two other Pomeranian universities: the University of Gdańsk and the Medical University of Gdańsk. The workshop will be conducted in Polish.
The DAMAP-PL project is coordinated by TU Wien in collaboration with Cyfronet AGH and Gdańsk University of Technology. The project aims to deploy the DAMAP tool within the Polish EOSC Node infrastructure, integrate it with key node services, and adapt it to the Data Management Plan (DMP) template requirements of Poland’s National Science Centre (NCN), national funding organisation.
DAMAP is an open-source service that supports researchers and data stewards in preparing clear, consistent, and funder-aligned DMPs. By reusing information available through external services, it reduces the need to enter the same data repeatedly. Its structured guidance and machine-actionable outputs help improve DMP quality while reducing the time
required for preparation.
Within the DAMAP-PL project, TU Wien provides guidance on software configuration, Cyfronet AGH is responsible for deployment and EOSC-PL Node integration, and Gdańsk University of Technology leads training and stakeholder engagement activities.
The workshop programme will include two parallel tracks:
- Technical administrator track: Participants will learn how to configure DAMAP and tailor it to institutional requirements, including through the administrator interface and available configuration options.
- Researcher and research-support track: Participants will explore DAMAP’s functionality through hands-on exercises, learn how to use or support the use of the tool, and contribute methodological feedback and suggestions for further improvement.
At the end of the workshop, the organisers will collect participants’ feedback on the potential implementation and wider adoption of DAMAP in the Polish research landscape.
