Fair Principles of Research

Findable

Results in the form of deliverables, minutes and other documentation will be published on the website. CCI4EU will make data available through trusted repositories such as Zenodo as recommended by the EC’s OpenAIRE initiative. The mutual transfer of information between partners will be carried out in compliance with GDPR requirements.

Accessible

Criteria included in CCI MM (WP2), country database related to CCI4EU survey (WP3), the educational courses delivered via the e-ESO platform (WP5) destined at first to registered users and then to everybody through the re-published as open access material, reports on Deep Dives (WP6), the assessment of CB achievements (WP7) will be all accessible.

Icon

Interoperable

All data from WPs will use a formal, accessible, shared, and broadly applicable language for knowledge representation. Specifically, for educational videos and slides (WP5) they will be available by contacting the ESO IT team which will provide the MP4 and PDF files.

Icon

Reusable

CCI4EU will made open and available the complete, cleaned, de-identified copy of the final data set used in conducting the final analyses and the report on the results generated by the project for use in further collaborative studies.

Life sciences and medical research have a long tradition of open access data repositories.
Public repositories ensure that data are FAIR - Findable Accessible Interoperable Reusable - correctly curated, accessible and maintained in the long term. During the selection process of a repository, we took into account existing comparisons in literature on research data management platforms regarding architecture, flexible metadata or interoperability. We also considered the specific needs and circumstances of the cancer care context.

The public repository we opted for was Zenodo, that ensures an easy and widespread dissemination of the information generated by the project (research publications and data), and it is recommended by the EC’s OpenAIRE initiative in order to bring together all the research results arising from EC-funded projects.

Zenodo enables researchers, EU projects and research institutions to share and showcase multidisciplinary research results (data and publications) that are not part of existing institutional or subject-based repositories (not yet publicly accessible).

Zenodo is also an alternative for project partners that do not have access to an institutional repository. Finally, it allows researchers to store both publications and data, while providing tools to link them.

Open Access

This Coordination Support Action will adhere to EU’s Open Science policy to boost the impact of CCI4EU results by sharing them since project start as openly as possible, as closed as necessary. In detail:

Open methodology
results will be made at all levels comprehensible and reproducible for external researchers
Open data
CCI4EU will participate in the EU Open Research Data scheme adhering to the EC rules to facilitate open research data
Open access and review
CCI4EU will provide free access to all peer-reviewed publications by either gold or green Open Access. To facilitate access, all publications links will also be available on the project website and Zenodo
Open educational resources
the educational material delivered via the e-ESO platform, further to live events, will be extracted and re-published as open access material
Research Data Management
A Data Management Plan (DMP) will be delivered at month 6 (WP1), identifying best practices and specific standards, taking into account ethical and IPR related constraints, for the access, storage & curation, and anonymization at the required grade, of the collected data during project’s activities. These practices ensure data suitability for sharing and reuse in accordance with legal ground and ethical requirements of GDPR while supporting EC open access and guidelines

Privacy Notice

We don't collect any "personal data"

If information isn’t collected, it can’t be stolen, demanded, leaked, or abused. Protecting your personal data is the best way to safeguard your online privacy.

What is "personal data"?

Personal data definition is based on the privacy laws and regulations of the EU, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Personal data is any information about you or your behavior that can be traced back to you.

Information we don’t collect

  • We don’t record your IP address
  • We don’t use cookies

This website is cookieless; for this reason, we do not use cookie banners

Websites may use what are known as "cookies". Cookies allow you to personalise your experience on sites, inform the owner about which parts of the site you visit, and enable the analysis of user behaviour to improve communications and products.

What are cookies?

Cookies are generally strings of text that websites (so-called publishers or "first parties") visited by you, or different websites or web servers (so-called "third parties") place and store on a device that you are using. Generally, cookies are stored directly on the browser used for browsing. The same website that sent them can subsequently read and record cookies on the same device in order to obtain various types of information.

How many types of cookies are there?

According to the Italian Data Protection Authority's (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali) guidelines for the protection of personal data — Linee guida cookie e altri strumenti di tracciamento of 10 June 2021 (hereinafter the Guidelines) — there are two basic macro-categories, with different characteristics: technical cookies and profiling cookies, both of which are managed independently or by "third parties".

  • Technical cookies: Used only to "carry out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communication network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the contracting party or user to provide such service" (see Art. 122, paragraph 1 of Italian Legislative Decree 196/2003);
  • Profiling cookies: Used to trace specific actions or recurring behavioural patterns in the use of the functions offered (patterns) back to specific, identified or identifiable subjects, in order to group the various profiles within homogeneous clusters of different sizes. This allows the data controller to, among other things, modulate the provision of the service in an increasingly personalised manner beyond what is strictly necessary for the provision of the service, as well as send targeted advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user when surfing the web.
