As part of this innovative project, a comprehensive Data Management Plan (DMP) has been developed to ensure the effective collection, storage, sharing, and preservation of data generated throughout the project lifecycle. This report outlines the strategies, policies, and procedures that will be implemented to maximize the value and impact of the project's data while adhering to ethical, legal, and regulatory requirements.

To create the next generation of high-performance lithium (Li)-ion battery cells, NEXTCELL (a consortium of 17 partners from 10 different European nations) will spend 48 months developing and validating a revolutionary gellified cell concept. This concept incorporates several material-level innovations for each of the key cell components, including the gellification of the electrodes and separator in conjunction with a high voltage-stable gel electrolyte. The project's prototyped cells will therefore have a high energy density and operate very well in high power applications. In addition to offering cutting-edge cells to the European market, NEXTCELL will also address three crucial issues including prices, safety, and sustainability, that now prevent Li-ion battery technology from being used more widely. In this regard, NEXTCELL’s technology will firstly optimize the production processes, lowering the capital and operating expenses of future gigafactories by skipping the electrolyte filling stage and solvent evaporation. Secondly, the initiative will create intrinsically safe cells by eliminating the use of separator and electrolytes that have low boiling points. Finally, an energy consumption reduction of 50% will be assured. Regarding WP1 and this report, the focus of the Data Management Plan (DMP) is to ensure that the project complies with (1) the FAIR data principles (making data findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable), and (2) GDPR, regulation that went into effect in May 2018 with the goal of protecting and empowering all EU citizens' personal data privacy and reshaping the way organizations manage data. According to the guidelines provided by Horizon Europe regarding the development of a DMP, the final version of this report will include (1) the methods to handle the research data during and after the project's end, (2) descriptions of the datasets that will be collected, processed, and/or generated, (3) methodologies and standards adopted for the data management, (4) the level of accessibility/confidentiality of the data, and (5) methods to curate and preserve the data during the project.

Purpose of data generation and collection The project’s data collection will center around the prototyping of the gellified concept, which will include feeding and sourcing data from other dimensions of the project, such as modelling and simulation and the evaluation of technical, safety, environmental sustainability, and cost improvements. This data will include information and knowledge produced and obtained during the project lifetime, including the development of material and cell components, small and large-scale gellified cells, development of a multi-scale and multi-physic porous electrode-based performance model, as well as the evaluation of cell technical performance, safety, and sustainability – environmental and cost analysis. In addition, personal data will be collected for the effective communication and dissemination of the project outcomes, such as: newsletters and project communications distribution, invitation to relevant events, among others. 2. Data generation and collection methodology The data collected during the project lifetime will be gathered in the form of questionnaires, surveys, webinars, newsletters, testing and modelling activities, prototyping activities, among others. This information will be logged and classified in a living document titled “NEXTCELL_Data repository” located in the project’s SharePoint (WP1 folder) where partners will add and/or update any new datasets generated in the project, following SIE’s indications. The template to be used for the data repository has been created by SIE following the Horizon Europe guidelines for data management and is shown in the table below.

The decision and definition of the conditions and requirements for sharing these datasets will be made by the data owner (respective project partner). Some datasets might not be available for sharing due to limitations imposed for ethical, IPR, and/or commercial exploitation reasons. The project datasets marked as confidential will be treated as sensible information and will not be shared unless specifically authorized by the owning party. NEXTCELL’s data repository was set in order to keep track of the data generation and collection, and to report any limitations on their potential re-use by third parties. The project partners in charge of each dataset will update and amend the content as necessary. SIE will serve as data protection officer, reminding the beneficiaries to review the repository every six months in order to keep the information up to date. Funded by the EU.

Making NEXTCELL’s data FAIR The need for maintaining data FAIR is emphasized in the DMP recommendations from the European Commission [1]. NEXTCELL project endorses the FAIR data policy to ensure that the datasets created and gathered in the project will conform with said policy. 3.1. Making data FINDABLE Including data in an open repository is the recommended practice for all Horizon Europe project following the OS approach. When speaking about articles and papers, a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) will be used as unique code to identify the article and journal where it has been published in. Nevertheless, datasets are not limited to papers or articles, they can include all type of data produced during the project lifetime, excel files, reports, databases, testing results, among many others. For the purposes of maintaining all data cohesive, a naming convention and style is determined in this report, done with the objective of making all documents more coherent and easier to find, making the names include the important information of the document. The convention to be used in the NEXTCELL project will follow the table below. Table 2: Naming convention to be used during the project NEXTCELL’s file naming convention “DX.Y” Deliverable number, eg. D1.1 “WPX” Related work package number, e.g. “WP1” for work package 1 “TX.Y” Task number, e.g. “T1.1” for task 1.1 “Title” Short description of the document “Version” Version number, e.g. “v0.1” for first version “Date” Date in “DDMMYY” format In this way, all files must be named following example: “ProjectName_DX.Y_Title_Version_Date,” they must be stored in the corresponding WP and task subfolder in the project SharePoint. In this way, if one were to name Deliverable 1.1 (this report) the name should be as follows: “NEXTCELL_D1.1_Data Management Plan_v0.1_300523,” and it should be stored in WP1 > Task1.5 subfolder.

Give people meaningful information about the logic involved in the process and explain the significance and envisaged consequences. If applicable 6. Allocation of resources If the conditions in Article 6 of the Grant Agreement (for eligibility conditions) are satisfied, costs associated with the OA of research data in the Horizon Europe program may be reimbursed during the project's lifetime. This is provided that the publishing is done in an OA repository or journal, and as it was already stablished, this implies that hybrid journals (those that provide both subscription and OA options) are not eligible. According to the Grant Agreement, there is no funding allocated for data management after the project lifetime. The long-term preservation of data in the NEXTCELL project will depend on the ability of the beneficiaries in the consortium to continue working together on the same file-sharing platform (Microsoft Teams). The license agreement associated with the public repository where the data will be placed shall be followed in all cases of data sharing and re-use (such as Creative Commons, Open Data Commons) after publication. By downloading the data, the user accepts full responsibility for its terms of use. The data collected and stored through NEXTCELL will also be made available to other parties through peer-reviewed OA publications, seminars, and conferences, in accordance with the distribution criteria. 7. Conclusions This report summarizes the first version of NEXTCELL’s DMP, establishing the methodology to follow regarding data collection, processing, and preservation, as well as the best practices to ensure data security and to comply with the open science approach.
