+We strongly recommend including **acknowledgements of funding bodies and project identifiers** (e.g. grant agreement

+research outputs linked to funded projects.

+Providing clear funding references facilitates the automatic inclusion of datasets in the official “outputs” of European
+and other funded projects, improving visibility, compliance with funder requirements, and traceability.
 
 **Example:**

+DANS is an institute of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) and the Dutch Research Council (NWO). 
+It manages certified research data repositories and develops policies to ensure that research data remain accessible,

+digital preservation, DANS defines which file formats offer the strongest long-term guarantees.
