Data Management Plan as requirement in your research project
For Flemish funded research (FWO, cSBO VLAIO), Data Management constitutes an integral part of sound scientific research. A Data Management Plan (DMP) is required for FWO projects and fellowships as well as for cSBO VLAIO projects. An initial DMP is required six months after the official start date of the funding. A final DMP is required at the end of the funding period.
A new version of the mandatory DMP template for FWO and cSBO VLAIO funded research is available.
From 1 September 2025 onwards, all new DMPs must use this updated template, which is available in DMPonline.be.
