Report from the training activities including training material

Deliverable D1.1 presents the implementation and outcomes of a comprehensive training program organised within Work Package 1 (WP1) – Increasing competence of InHort staff in the range of sensory and consumer research. The activities took place between November 2024 and June 2025 in Skierniewice and fully addressed the objectives defined for WP1. The main goal of WP1 was to expand the research competencies of InHort staff by introducing advanced, modern, and computer-assisted methods in sensory and consumer research. The program aimed to enhance the scientific team’s experience in fast quality evaluation, support early-stage researchers, and promote the exchange of best practices between partners. 

Public Deliverables

First update Data Management Plan.

Deliverable D7.5 is the second version of the HortiFoodTrends Data Management Plan (DMP) and replaces the first version. It is based on the Guidelines on the HORIZON EUROPE Data Management Plan Template Version 1.0[1].

The DMP specifies how data collected or generated in the course of the project will be handled during the HortiFoodTrends action and how it will be stored, published, cited and made Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) beyond the project life. Moreover, the DMP details the standards and methodologies for data collection and generation that will be followed, how the research data will be preserved, and which datasets will be published for verification or reuse as open access.
