The proper management of research data is imperative to ensure that scientific findings are findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR). The national and international research organizations support the long-term safeguarding of and the open access to research data from publicly funded research, as laid down in the “Berlin Declaration on Open Access” of 2003 and the “Guidelines on Data Management in Horizon 2020”.

• Raw data will be curated in well-defined formats, for which the means of reading the data will be made available by the EMFL facilities.
• Raw data and associated metadata will be stored by the EMFL facilities for at least ten years.
• Access to raw data and the associated metadata is restricted to the user for a period of five years after the end of the experiment. Thereafter, it will become openly accessible with the EMFL facilities acting as custodian. Any user who wishes to maintain the restricted access to his data for a longer period will be required to make a special case to the EMFL-facility management. Data can always be made openly accessible earlier on simple request of any member of the experimental team, if no other member objects.
