ARGOS is designed for everyone involved in shaping, supporting, and funding research.
It helps researchers, institutions, funders, and infrastructures plan how data, software, and other outputs are managed, turning expectations into action, improving collaboration across roles, and supporting Open Science by design.

- Funders and Policymakers
- Data Stewards, and Support Staff
- Focus on your research, not the admin: ARGOS makes planning straightforward, guiding you step by step and helping you meet requirements with confidence.
- Keep everything connected: Link data, software, workflows, and roles, so nothing gets lost or forgotten along the way.
- Collaborate across institutions and roles:Work together on a single Plan, even if you're part of a distributed team with different practices.
- Update and reuse your Plans ARGOS grows with your project, so you don’t start from scratch every time something changes.
- Coordinate planning across the organisation: Standardise how departments approach data, software, and ethics planning, with consistent templates, roles, and policies.
- Gain insight into research support needs: Track who’s planning what, where support is needed, and how your researchers align with internal and external policies.
- Embed institutional policies into real workflows: Move beyond generic guidelines, make your expectations actionable in every Plan.
- Support strategic Open Science adoption: Align research practices with national and EU-level Open Science strategies, while adapting to your own pace.
- Ensure alignment with your funding policies: ARGOS lets you define templates and evaluation criteria that reflect your programme’s requirements and priorities.
- Get structured planning information from the start: Receive machine-actionable, complete Plans that can be validated and monitored, before, during, and after the project.
- Connect planning to reporting and monitoring: Automate integration with your own reporting systems to reduce manual overhead and improve policy tracking.
- Drive responsible research practices: Make transparency, reproducibility, and FAIR principles part of the funding process, not an afterthought.
- Help researchers plan better, faster: Provide structured templates, embedded guidance, and internal workflows that reduce back-and-forth.
- Turn policy into practice: Translate compliance requirements into actionable fields and guidance within Plans.
- Coordinate across units and systems: Work with ethics, legal, IT, and other teams to streamline who does what and when.
- Track quality, not just quantity: Use reviews and evaluations to strengthen planning practices and surface what needs attention.
