Portugal’s New National DMP Service |
Portugal’s national Data Management Plan (DMP) service is taking shape through the POLEN blueprint, translating policy ambitions into a practical, operational platform. Designed to support researchers throughout the research lifecycle, the service provides structured guidance for creating and managing DMPs in line with funder and European requirements. Helping to establish a more coordinated national approach to research data management, POLEN blueprint will give institutions and research communities clearer processes and shared standards, while aligning national practice with broader European developments. |
