A consortial approach to Research Data Management (RDM): Small and / or specialist

JISC: Research at Risk

Initial Survey for CREST Research Leads

Contact: Dr Alisa Miller (alisa.miller@guildhe.ac.uk)

This survey is designed to assess where your institution and your researchers are with respect to awareness and readiness in terms of capturing and curating research data. Ultimately the aim is to assess the practicality of building a consortia-based RDM system that would offer additional operability in a cost-effective manner now and in the future, and to identify key components of what this system might look like. This information will be used to inform the CREST Stage 1 project report to JISC and will allow technical project partners to begin to design a coherent system with the requisite structure to allow for sufficient data capture and curation by individual institutions. There will be a number of seminars and events taking place in May and June 2015 that feed into this, and we will also discuss in depth at the 23rd June CREST Meeting.
