EN.I.R.I.S.S.T. enables the development of research in the maritime, supply chain and transport sectors and the continuous updating of stakeholders in these areas. The action is supported by carefully designed cooperation policies and relevant conventions, for credible and effective cooperation. A data management plan is implemented to help researchers, funders and data repositories derive maximum value from the research data. The electronic data infrastructure provides a scalable architecture for data management and long-term retention of information for reproduction and reuse.

Data management tools and services are used to plan the data life cycle, identify open data sources and data collected with sensitive or restricted access. The electronic infrastructure has an open architecture to connect the data management services available over a wide network. Data management approaches are also followed to meet the needs of research communities and other stakeholders. In this context, we want to be part of the European Open Science Cloud – especially for the data in our scientific fields (Shipping, Supply Chain and Transport in Greece).
