Data Management Plan

This document presents the Data Management Plan (DMP) of the CIRCE project (Counteracting Accent Discrimination Practiced in Education), funded under the Erasmus+ programme (KA2-SCH). The DMP describes the strategies, procedures, and standards adopted by the consortium for the collection, documentation, storage, preservation, and dissemination of the research data produced within the project. It outlines how different categories of project outputs—including experimental speech stimuli, research datasets, educational resources, and multimedia materials—are documented and curated to ensure transparency, traceability, and long-term accessibility. The document also details the measures adopted to ensure ethical and legal compliance in the handling of sensitive data, particularly audio recordings containing identifiable voice information. These procedures are designed to ensure full compliance with applicable data protection regulations, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), while supporting responsible data sharing and access. The plan further describes the infrastructures used for data preservation and dissemination, including the use of trusted repositories to guarantee the long-term sustainability and accessibility of CIRCE research outputs. Overall, the DMP reflects the consortium’s commitment to responsible data governance, Open Science principles, and the FAIR management of research data beyond the duration of the project.
