Introduction

In the EU-funded project FAST, which stands for "Functionally graded Additive Manufacturing (AM)

scaffolds by hybrid manufacturing", a new 3D printing technology for the manufacture of implants

customized to the patients at affordable cost is being developed. The FAST technology combines

in a single machine 3D printing of bone tissue scaffolds and their surface modification using

atmospheric physical plasma coating technology. It is considered of key importance for the project

and the translation of its results to the patient to explain the FAST technology to all stakeholders

including:

Researchers;

(academic) hospitals;

medical devices companies;

associations and networks, e.g. medical societies on European and national level;

standardization and healthcare regulatory bodies, in particular the European Medicines

Agency (EMA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA);

educational institutions;

policy makers;

patients;

as well as to the general public in a suitable way and at a suitable point of time. Various different

channels are used or will be used to achieve this. These include:

Conferences, workshops and fairs in the fields of biomaterials, 3D printing, rapid

prototyping, thin films, plasma surface modification and regenerative medicine;

Publications in the fields of rapid prototyping, plasma surface modification, biomaterials,

chemistry, stem cells, tissue engineering, regenerative medicine and orthopaedics;

demonstrations before researchers, medical staff.

Information of the general public will be mainly through media including:

the project website;

press releases;

articles in magazines and newspapers;

video clips and animations, disseminated via the project websites, the websites of the

project partners and via YouTube;

social media;

radio and TV contributions.

An overview plan of when and how the above mentioned stakeholders and the general public will

be informed about the project results is shown in the Figure 1.

Figure 1: Dissemination focus in the various stages of the project

It is further part of the dissemination and exploitation strategy to communicate that the technology

developed in this project is potentially of interest also in fields of application beyond the

musculoskeletal applications in regenerative medicine. For instance, it could be tailored to other

tissues and organs, using different biomaterials and biological molecules.

The project has in any case reached a technological stage that has led the consortium to decide to

increase the effort to present their advances to the scientific and industrial world. For instance,

there have been two publications on a scientific level and several open access publications in

international peer-reviewed journals are planned until 2020 (at least 8). In particular, of these

planned contributions we aim at having 2-3 scientific articles in 2019 (e.g. nanosafety data,

antimicrobial and cytotoxicity data of WP8; new HAM printing concept of WP3 and WP4), and the

remaining in the course of 2020 (all mechanical, physicochemical, and in vitro biological

characterization of the fabricated 3D printed scaffolds of WP4, WP5, WP6; in vivo study results of

WP6). In terms of targeted journals, we aim at reaching out the readership of science, scientific

report, nature communications, advanced materials, advanced functional materials, ACS nano,

biomaterials, acta biomaterialia, biofabrication, tissue engineering, and journal of tissue

engineering and regenerative medicine, among others.

Moreover, project results have been presented in oral presentations on various scientific

conferences. On the industrial side, the FAST technology with its associated materials, processes

and machine developments, has been presented on fairs with various focusses all over the globe.

1.1 Electronic media

1.1.1 Work space

Already at the beginning of the project, a joint work/collaboration space was set up in order to

exchange project related documents via this platform (Figure 2).

Figure 2: Workspace of the FAST project hosted on the Livelink-Server of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft

1.1.2 Project logo development

A logo for the use in the various electronic and printed documents was developed shortly after the

project had started.

1.1.3 FAST project website

A project website has been online since the beginning of the project. It is updated regularly. A screenshot of the website is shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3: Screenshot of the homepage of the FAST project website.

The website with its various pages is intended to explain the technology to the general public and

also to provide useful information for the expert world, e.g. links to scientific publications containing

results obtained in the FAST project.

Links to the FAST project website have also been placed on the website of the consortium partners

(Figure 4).

Figure 4: Selection of consortium partner websites presenting the FAST project.

A selection of EU projects with topics related to that of the FAST project is cross-referenced under

the Network/link section of the website. This selection so far includes the projects DIMAP: Digital

Materials for 3D Printing, Nanotun3D and BAMOS - Biomaterials and Additive Manufacturing:

Osteochondral Scaffold innovation applied to osteoarthritis. Cross-referencing will increase the

visibility of the projects on the internet.

Monitoring of the website visits is carried out using PIWIK, a free and open source web analytics

platform. It tracks online visits to one or more websites and displays reports on these visits for

analysis. A selection of the FAST project website monitoring results is presented in the following

Figure 5, Figure 6 and Figure 7. Website monitoring has been stopped since mid of May 2018 in

order to comply with the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation).

Visits in total: 1.500

Europe: 71,8 %

North America: 13,5 %

Asia: 11,4 %

1.1.4 Social media

The project is presented on the social networks Facebook and LinkedIn since April 2018 as shown

in Figure 8 and Figure 9. It is the aim to shape the FAST contents presented on these networks

according to their characteristics and their main target groups.

The project is not yet on twitter. The content of a presentation on this social network is currently

under discussion in the consortium. Suitable linking of terms via hashtags allows reaching a large

audience within a short period of time. However, the idea behind twitter is the continuous and

frequent (e.g. once a day) use of this medium. If such a flow of information cannot be guaranteed

or does not make sense, it may be considered to rather rely on Facebook and LinkedIn.

Presence on the social networks will also contribute positively to the search engine hit rate.

1.1.5 Tablet presentation

A slide presentation (for screenshots see

Figure 10) of the FAST project presentation addressing the general public, but also experts, has

been produced and is available for dissemination purposes. Currently the presentation is shown on

a tablet in the lobby of the Fraunhofer Office in Brussels together with a 3D printed demonstrator.

Figure 10: Some Screenshots of the slide presentation of the FAST project

1.1.6 Animated movie

An animation to explain the FAST project and the technology developed to the general public in an

easily digestible way is under preparation and a first version will be completed likely in autumn

2018. At the time of the writing of this report, preliminary versions of the script and the sketches

(Figure 11) are produced and are discussed with the consortiums partners.

Figure 11: Screenshots of the planned movie

The movie will be distributed to all consortiums partners for their dissemination activities and will be

made available on the web, e.g. on the FAST project website and on YouTube.

1.2 Printed media

1.2.1 Flyer, roll-up banners and posters

Printed media produced include a project flyer, a roll-up banner, and a press release. Each of

these is also available of course in electronic form. The flyer will be updated in the coming period.

Zirconium Phosphate and PEOT/PBT Copolymer”, in the Journal of Composite Sciences, J.

Compos. Sci. 2018, 2(2), available open access under the weblink

https://doi.org/10.3390/jcs2020031 (Figure 17).

Figure 17: Screenshots of publication produced in connection with the FAST project.

A number of scientific publications, all to be peer-reviewed, are under preparation or planned from

the consortium in the course of 2018, 2019, and 2020. In this respect, we have chosen to delay the

bulk of publications that will be generated by the consortium to give sufficient time to the biological

studies to be repeated, thus stressing on reproducibility and robustness of the work done to aim for

journals with a higher impact and a broader readership. If successful, this will guarantee FAST a

much wider dissemination potential.

1.6 Open Research Data of H2020 Management Plan

A first version of this plan was produced and made available to the consortium partners in May

2016 (see deliverable 9.4), and later updated in December 2016. An essentially 1:1 copy of the

December 2016 document can be found in the following sections. The next update of the DMP is

planned for December 2018.

1.6.1 Introduction

As part of the Horizon 2020 programme FAST participates in the Pilot on Open Access to

Research Data. Integral part of the pilot is the data management plan (DMP). The main purposes

of the DMP are:

to create a text that explains the management of the data collected for the duration of the

FAST project.

to provide an analysis of the main elements of the data management policy that will be

used throughout the FAST project with regard to all the datasets that will be generated

during the project

to support the data management life cycle for all data that will be collected, processed or

generated by the FAST project

to provide detail and guarantee about the preservation of the data collected during the

FAST project, as well as any results derived from the associated research

It has been prepared by following the template of the “Guidelines on Data Management in Horizon

2020” and the “Guidelines on FAIR Data Management in Horizon 2020” and it is oriented to the

projects participant organizations, the European Commission and to all stakeholders involved by

the project. The elaboration of the DMP will allow the FAST partners to address all issues related

to data. The DMP was a public deliverable due in month 6 (Deliverable 9.3). However, it aims to be

a live document and, hence, it will evolve during the FAST project according to the progress of

project activities. The DMP will therefore continuously be updated in the course of the project.

The Grant Agreement and the Consortium Agreement are to be referred to for type of data,

storage, recruitment process, confidentiality, ownership, management of intellectual property and

access. The procedures that will be implemented for data collection, storage, access, sharing

policies, protection, retention and destruction will be according to the requirements of the national

legislation of each partner and in line with the EU standards. The DMP covers (1) the handling of

research data during & after the project, (2) what data will be collected, processed or generated,

(3) what methodology & standards will be applied, (4) whether data will be shared /made open

access & how and (5) how data will be curated & preserved.

1.6.2 Overall Dataset and procedure framework

This document contains the first update of the DMP. A number of questions in connection with the

DMP are nevertheless under discussion in the consortium. In addition, we aim to make our

research data findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR) and in order to do this, some

modifications are also expected once the recommendations of the document “Guidelines on FAIR

Data Management in Horizon 2020” will be fully applied. It is planned to solve this with the next

update of the DMP.

In FAST, data management procedures are included in WP10 and can be summarized according

to the framework shown in Figure 18 – Figure 22 (scheme by Jan Gäbler, Fraunhofer IST), in

which the complete workflow of dissemination and publication as currently discussed in the

consortium is shown.

Figure 18 a: workflow for the dissemination and publication currently under discussion in the FAST consortium in the period of writing of this report (scheme developed by Jan Gäbler of the Fraunhofer IST,

Braunschweig, Germany), enlargements shown Figure 18 b to e

Figure 19: workflow for the dissemination and publication – Collecting data

Figure 20: workflow for the dissemination and publication – Planning publications

Figure 21: workflow for the dissemination and publication – Reporting

Figure 22: workflow for the dissemination and publication – Publishing

The procedure for the management of data begins with the production of a data set by one or

several of the partners. According to the figure, they should inform the data manager about the

data by filling in the template shown in Annex 1, in which the most important metadata are

included. The dataset is then archived by the partner that has produced it, while metadata are

managed by the data manager.

The data archived by the partner may be in the form of tables and, occasionally, as documents

such as reports, technical drawings and material safety data sheets. Software used to store the

research results mainly includes the:

applications of the office suites of Microsoft, Open and Libre Office, e.g. Word and Excel,

and

Origin Data Analysis and Graphing by Originlab.

Following checkup by data manager, the meta data will be included in the the next edition of the

DMP and depending on the decision-tree shown, data can be considered for publication.

The DMP addresses the required points on a dataset by dataset basis and reflects the current

status of reflection within the consortium about the data that will be produced. The DMP presents

in details only the procedures of creating ‘primary data’ (data not available from any other sources)

and of their management. In the internal procedures to grant open access to any publication,

research data or other innovation generated in the EU project the main workflow starts at

the WP level. If the WP team member considers putting research data open access, it will

inform the project steering committee about its plans. The project steering committee will then

discuss these plans in the consortium and decide whether the date will be made openly accessible

or not. The general policy of the EU project is to apply “open access by default” to its research

data.

Project results to be made openly accessible for the public will be labelled “public” in the

project documentation (table, pictures, diagram, reports etc.). All project results labelled

“public” will be distributed under specific free/open license, where the authors retain the

authors’ rights and the users can redistribute the content freely.

With regard to the five points covered in the template proposed in the “Guidelines on Data

Management in Horizon 2020” (Data set reference and name, Data set description, Standards and

metadata, Data sharing and Archiving and Preservation), they are included in the Table template

proposed in Annex I and there are common procedures that will be described together for all

datasets included in the next sections of this document.

1.6.3 Data set reference and name

For an easy identification, all datasets produced in FAST will be also tagged with a short name (the

data set reference) following the format FAST-DS-xxyyy, where xx refers to the work package in

which data are produced and yyy is a sequential reference number assigned by the data manager

upon reception of a proposal of dataset. This name will be included in the template and will not be

filled in by the partner that propose the dataset. Opposite, partner that produces the dataset will

propose a descriptive name(1), consisting of a sentence in which the content of the dataset is

clearly reflected. This sentence should be shorter than 200 characters and will be checked and, if

necessary, modified by the data Manager for the sake of uniformity.

1.6.4 Data set description

It consists of a plain text with a maximum extension of 200 words in which it is very briefly

summarized the content, methodology and organization of the dataset in order to let the reader

have a first clear idea of the main aspects of the dataset. It will be filled in by the partner that

produces the dataset(2) and checked upon reception and, if necessary, modified by the Data

Manager for the sake of uniformity.

1.6.5 Standards and Metadata

Metadata is structured information that describes, explains, locates, or otherwise makes it easier to

retrieve, use, or manage an information resource. Metadata is often called data about data or

information about information. Metadata that are going to be included in our DMP are going to be

classified into three groups:

Descriptive metadata, which designates a resource for purposes such as discovery and

identification. In the DMP of FAST this metadata are needed to be filled in by the partner

that propose the Dataset and include elements such as the contributors(3) (institution

partners that contributes the dataset), creator/s(4) (author/s of the dataset), subjects(5) (up to

six keywords that clearly identifies the content).

Administrative metadata, which provides information to help manage a resource, such as

when and how it was created, file type and other technical information, and who can access

it. In the DMP of FAST, these metadata are needed to be filled in by the partner that

propose the Dataset and include elements such as language(6) (most likely English), file

format(7) (excel, csv, …) and type of resource(8) (Table, Figure, picture…). It is proposed to

use commonly used metadata standards in this project based on the digital object identifier

system® (DOI). With this purpose, DOI of the final version of the metadata form for each

Dataset will be obtained by the Data Manager.

Structural metadata, which indicates how compound objects are put together. In the DMP

of FAST, these metadata are needed to be filled in by the partner that proposed the

Dataset in Table 1 and include elements such as parameters(9) included in the dataset

(including information about methodology used to obtain it according to international

standards, equipment, etc.), structure of the datatable(10) (showing clearly how data are

organized) and additional information for the dataset(11) (such as Decimal delimitor, the

Column delimitor, etc.)

Upon reception of the first version of the Dataset, this information will be checked by the Data

Manager and, if necessary, modified for the sake of uniformity and clarity.

1.6.6 Data sharing

The data sharing procedures and rights in relation to the data collected through the FAST project

are the same across the different datasets and are in accordance with the Grant Agreement. The

partner that produces the dataset should inform about the status(12) of the dataset: public, if data

are going to be published, or private, if no diffusion out of the consortium is aimed (because data

are considered as sensitive). In the case of public data, a link to sample data can also be included

to allow potential users a rapid determination on the relevance of the data for their use (13). This link

will be checked by the data manager and the partner that produce the Dataset is responsible for

keeping it alive for the whole duration of FAST.

With respect to the access procedure data must be made available upon request, or in the context

of checks, reviews, audits or investigations. If there are ongoing checks etc., the records must be

retained until the end of these procedures. Each partner must ensure open access to all peer-

reviewed scientific publications relating to its results. Partners must:

as soon as possible and at the latest on publication, deposit a machine-readable

electronic copy of the published version or final peer-reviewed manuscript accepted for

publication in a repository for scientific publications; moreover, the beneficiary must aim

to deposit at the same time the research data needed to validate the results presented

in the deposited scientific publications.

ensure open access to the deposited publication — via the repository — at the latest:

• on publication, if an electronic version is available for free via the publisher, or

• within six months of publication in any other case.

• ensure open access — via the repository — to the bibliographic metadata that

identify the deposited publication. The bibliographic metadata must be in a

standard format and must include all of the following:-the terms “European

Union (EU)” and “Horizon 2020”;-the name of the action, acronym and grant

number;-the publication date, and length of embargo period if applicable, and-a

persistent identifier.

Data will also be shared when the related deliverable or paper has been made available at an open

access repository, via the gold or the green model. The normal expectation is that data related to a

publication will be openly shared. However, to allow the exploitation of any opportunities arising

from the raw data and tools, data sharing will proceed only if all co-authors of the related

publication agree. The lead author is responsible for getting approvals and then sharing the data

and metadata in the repository of its institution or, alternatively, in the repositories provided by

a) Zenodo under http://zenodo.org/

b) Fraunhofer Eprints/Publica/Fordatis (with Fordatis being available not before end of 2018)

The project website is and will also be used to make results, for instance in the form of

publications, pictures, movies, openly accessible as far as this does not lead to legal infringements

(e.g. infringements of the rights of publishers).

1.6.7 Archiving and preservation

The archiving and preservation procedures in relation to the data collected through the FAST

project are the same across the different datasets and are in accordance with the Grant

Agreement. The data will be managed by collaborators of participants as well as other scientists

interested in FAST relationships.

The knowledge generated by the project among partners, scientific community, target users and

public at large during the project are managed in two ways, depending on the data source:

The non-sensitive data will be organized into open access repositories of the partner that

produce them or, alternatively, into Fraunhofer ePrints that will contain all the knowledge

produced by the Project partners. A restricted access is expected for the knowledge that

will be used for exploitation purposes; open access for all the other knowledge.

to manage and store the sensitive data obtained, all partners from FAST must comply with

relevant European and national regulations as well as with the standards of practice

defined by relevant professional boards and institutions.

The link/s to the open access dataset/s will be proposed by the partner that produces the dataset/s (14). This link will be checked by the data manager and the partner that produce the dataset is

responsible for keeping it alive for the whole duration of FAST.

With regard to the management of copyright and intellectual property rights (IPR) issues, the IPR

ownership is defined by the Consortium Agreement and Grant Agreement related to project. Such

access will be provided by accepting the terms and conditions of use, as appropriate. Materials

generated under the project will be disseminated in accordance with Consortium Agreement.

Those that use the data (as opposed to any resulting manuscripts) shall cite it as follows:

The data created by the FAST project, funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research

and innovation programme under grant agreement No 689925. For reuse of this data, please,

contact FAST Consortium http://project-fast.eu/en/home

Regarding the citation of the data the data manager will include in the final version of the metadata

template relevant data about how the dataset has to be referenced, including creators, year, title of

the dataset and DOI.

1.6.8 Ethical and legal issues

The FAST partners are to comply with the ethical principles of the Grant Agreement, which states

that all activities must be carried out in compliance with:

the ethical principles (including the highest standards of research integrity e.g. as set out in

the European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity, and including, in particular, avoiding

fabrication, falsification, plagiarism or other research misconduct) and Commission

recommendation (EC) No 251/2005 of 11 March 2005 on the European Charter for

Researchers and on a Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers (OJ L 75,

22.03.2005, p. 67), the European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity of ALLEA (All

European Academies) and ESF (European Science Foundation) of March 2011

(http://www.esf.org/fileadmin/Public_documents/Publications/Code_Conduct_ResearchInte

grity.pdf )

applicable international, EU and national law.

Furthermore, activities raising ethical issues must comply with the ‘ethics requirements’ set out in

the Grant Agreement.

Regarding confidentiality, all FAST partners must keep any data, documents or other material

confidential during the implementation for the project and for a period after the project ended.

Further detail on confidentiality can be found in the Grant Agreement.

2 Next steps in dissemination

Among the next steps planned in the field of dissemination are:

• organisation of the joint presentation of the FAST project on the European Society for

Biomaterials Conference in September 2018 (Maastricht), including the organization of a

FAST booth in the exhibition center and of oral and poster abstracts that were selected for

presentation.

• update of:

dissemination strategy and plan (until November 2018)

list of events to participate in (until August 2018)

electronic and printed media (until August 2018)

open research data management plan (until November 2018)

• completion of the animated movie (until August 2018)

• production of FAST products brochures (until August 2018)

• production of several (~ 8) peer-reviewed publications (until 2020)

It is in any case planned to seek opportunities to present the FAST consortium also as a whole

being able to offer products (masterbatches, fillers, equipment, including printers and its individual

components, trainings, maintenance and consulting services), along the value chain covered by

the technology developed in the FAST project. Dissemination activities are oriented towards this

presentation and will correspondingly include e.g. joint booths on exhibitions, joint scientific papers

and articles in magazines and brochures presenting the FAST product portfolio.
