OpenAIRE webinar 'Horizon 2020 Open Research Data Pilot and Zenodo Data Repository', hosted by EIFL, highlights a new development in Horizon 2020 - the Open Research Data Pilot - that aims to improve access to the research data generated by European Union (EU) funded projects. It also addresses the benefits of taking an active approach to research data management, including increased speed and ease of access, efficiency (fund once, re-use many times), and improved quality and transparency of research.

The webinar was led by Martin Donnelly (Digital Curation Centre at the University of Edinburgh, partner in the EU FOSTER project); Elly Dijk and Marjan Grootveld (Data Archiving and Networked Services (DANS), and Lars Holm Nielsen (CERN,  Zenodo data repository).
