Seven R&D institutions collaborate on testing
The Polen Research Data Repository will enter the pilot implementation phase with the participation of 7 research units, selected as part of an expression of interest, which will use and collaborate in testing the platform.
Managed by the National Scientific Computing Unit of FCT, the Polen project aims to promote the practice and principles of Open Science and meet the scientific community's needs in research data management (RDM). As part of this project's activity plan, a research data repository service will be made available to beneficiaries of FCT funding instruments.
Projects selected for this pilot phase will have the opportunity to use and play an active role in testing the service and suggesting improvements.
The call for expressions of interest to participate in the pilot phase was aimed at higher education institutions and/or R&D entities that are beneficiaries of FCT funding instruments. This process is financed by funds from the SAMA project.Digital Transformation in Research: Science Management and Open Science”.
