Designed for research institutions in Belgium, the DMPonline.be platform is the perfect tool to help you generate and manage your Data Management Plans.
To set out management strategies for your research data along the entire lifecycle of your research projects
In the context of a new research project, the DMPonline.be platform allows you to define in advance the different conventions for each stage of the project's lifecycle.
The criteria for collecting, storing, preserving and sharing your data are generated quickly and can be used as the basis for your entire research project.
Appropriate templates are proposed to generate deliverables when necessary for applying for funding, or when a research or project grant demands it.
Benefits
Easy to use
The interface is clear, fast and instinctive for both the admin-users and the end-users. As an organisation admin, you will also be able to guide your users through each step of their DMP creation with the personalised guidance feature.
Collaborative tool
With the "Share" feature, researchers can easily invite colleagues to collaborate on the development of a DMP. They can temporarily invite other (internal or external) researchers to modify and edit certain responses in a plan.
Flexibility
The menu can be customised to meet the needs of your organisation. For example, you can customise your templates (Funder template, Institutional DMP template, etc.) according to your needs or add specific guidance for your different user groups.
Security and reliability
DMPonline.be has the advantages of the Belnet R&E Federation. It is also hosted by Belnet on a server with a reinforced infrastructure that guarantees the very high availability and resilience of its services.
Reviewing, monitoring and reporting
A customisable review workflow supports the assessment and monitoring of Data Management Plans at different stages of the research lifecycle. Gain insights into DMP adoption, progress, completion rates, and institutional reporting needs.
Machine Actionability
Connect DMPonline to your existing research ecosystem through powerful APIs. Streamline workflows, exchange information across systems, and unlock new opportunities for research monitoring and intelligence.

Dries Moreels (UGent) explains the beginnings of the DMPonline.be adventure
"We started the DMPonline.be adventure in 2015. At the start, the tool was still in its infancy, and around 15 researchers from the University of Ghent were the first users at the time.
Over the years, more and more Belgian research centres joined the initiative and Ghent University has been able to develop the DMPonline.be tool into an active user community. The community has since grown to over 12,000 users. We also adapted the system to the Belgian research context by adding new functionalities and integrating relevant models.
A good Data Management Plan (DMP) guarantees smooth cooperation between researchers and is now a requirement for obtaining grants (e.g. from Horizon 2020, the European research funding programme). DMPonline.be makes it easy to implement and manage this type of Data Management Plan.
I therefore recommend all accredited research centres start using DMPonline.be in their organisation. It is a tool that has become crucial in research activities."
