Data Summary. The main categories of data foreseen to be collected or generated by MULTI-STR3AM are: • Underlying research data: This category encompasses the data, including associated metadata, forming the basis of results and conclusions presented in scientific articles and in any potential patents arising from the project. To remove any limitations to review and validation of results by the scientific community, green open access (self-archiving) will be the preferred model of publication for scientific articles. Additionally, the underlying data will be deposited in an open repository (independent of the project), which will be linked to in the resulting article. • Operational data: This includes raw or curated data arising from the operation of equipment, for example associated with biomass cultivation, fractionation and purification of microalgae components, and routine analyses of the resultant products (e.g., compositional analyses). Data related to the production process will be used to produce guidelines for optimal performances, quality checks and confirmation checks, which will be of use in the project and in future planned production of algae. This category of data is likely to contain commercially sensitive data; careful consideration will be given to which information can be published openly (e.g., for dissemination purposes) and which should be consideration non-open. Some of this data is also of value for scientific or other publications and presentations and will be treated accordingly. • Impact monitoring data: Primarily in WP5, data will be gathered to assess the social, environmental and economic impact of MULTI-STR3AM and to track the performance of the project against the KPIs set out in the proposal. These data include biorefinery process modelling and data gathered on e.g., feedstock, raw materials, energy, waste and emissions to complete life cycle and social life cycle assessments. Such assessments will be performed according to methodology as defined by ISO 14040/44 and the project impacts measured with the help of computer-based tools such as SimaPro v9 (with Ecoinvent v3.5 database, and others). • Documentation relating to instruments and methods: This category covers documentation needed to implement the project and reproduce its results, including SOPs from each partner for their respective processes and details of tools, methods, instruments and software. This section will describe the kinds of data that each work package will be handling, the partner responsible for collecting and managing the data, the importance and purpose for the project of each specific data, different types and formats, to which stakeholders the data will be more useful, to whom it will be available, and when confidentiality will be requested and disclosure will be needed.
