MT-DMA: Program facts

The topic MT-DMA within the Helmholtz MATTER program was established with the PoF-IV period, starting 2021.

The recommendation of the Scientific Evaluation was: "Establish a program topic “Data Management and Analysis” and develop a strategic plan for data handling and computing that capitalizes on the emerging DMA for the ARD and DTS activities."

MT-DMA will undergo the PoF-IV review process, and propose for the PoF-V funding period. Thus the timelines are: - 2019 & 2020: Proposal and review process before PoF-IV - 2021-2027: PoF-IV funding period, incl. review and preparation for PoF-V - 2028-2034: PoF-V funding period
