To give you an overview of where we are in delivering the elements of our “Research at Risk” co-design challenge (which centres around developing a sustainable and cost effective service offer to meet research data management needs) please have a look at our presentation on slideshare. These slides cover: a) the timescales and outputs for […]
Back in the Spring of 2014, Jisc and RCUK colleagues sat down to discuss the challenges around achieving greater interoperability of research systems and how standards could help. Following that discussion we all felt that moving forward in this area would need a clear oversight of a complex and rapidly developing field, and hence the […]
We wanted to take the opportunity to give you a round up of the continuing work of the team taking forward Jisc’s research data work. Among our spring 2015 highlights are not least the Research Data Spring itself, as can be seen from Daniela’s recent updates on this blog. Back in February this was the […]
