AQUARIUS Data Management Follow Up 1

The AQUARIUS Data Management approach covers multiple steps in the deployment of Transnational Access (TA) events, going from planning to reporting a summary of observations to gathering and standardising all collected data sets. This way, over time all information, metadata and data sets from the TA events are to be published as open data and made widely accessible. This is achieved by a close cooperation between the TA scientific teams and the expert data centres that are active in AQUARIUS WP6 (Data Management and Open Science Practices) for supporting data management and in AQUARIUS WP5 (RI Technical Training) for giving training about data management and prevailing European standards.This Deliverable D6.4 documents the progress with implementing the AQUARIUS Data Management approach for the first 3 TA events that had their field work in 2025 and it gives an outlook on the planning for the next 5 TA events in 2026. An updated deliverable will be prepared and submitted at project end documenting all of the TA events.
