Open Research Data Pilot (ORDP)

Definition: The Open Research Data Pilot (ORDP) is an initiative that was part of H2020 funding scheme. Its objectives are to nudge researchers, institutions and consortiums to make research data necessary to validate research results open. This should in practice "improve and maximise access to and re-use of research data generated by Horizon 2020 projects" (European Commission 2022).

As part of the Pilot it is key to ensure certain data are available:

  • Data linked to Open Access publications 
  • Underlying data that were part of the research projects, but not neccesarily contributed to research publications (that is down to the discretion of the project team/grantee) (European Commission 2022)
