Messages for RCs • Grants to encourage most efficient fund use (eg expansion rather than new) • Consistent data policy across all RCs. Common practices • Clarity on what can be charged to grants • Capital only is not sufficient – recurrent funding is essential • What is defined as success for the RCs • Need investment in people • Clarity on funding rules for long-term data management • Extend the Scottish exemption • More cash for JISC/DCC • Clarity on ‘what is research data’, what needs preserving • Tool to make all info machine readable • Strategic and planned approach to funding • Clear recognition of the costs of RDM • Comms to wider stakeholders (VCs, academics)
E-Infrastructure shopping list • Licenses for mobile devices • Strengthen Shibboleth • National ontology for research metadata • Share it equally and leave it to us • Large shared archive facility • Invest in DTCs - info security, scientific s/w dev, info management • Programme to create information scientists • National secure data facility for sensitive data • Storage and capacity for RDM (on JANET) • Connect businesses to JANET to increase engagement • Training / education for academics
Headline conclusions • Deluge of stuff coming - need more engagement: IT and research • Culture change – who will champion • Unclear financial models • Investment needed in people • What is UK good at? • Collaborate on common shared infrastructure • Via RUGIT, influence the 5 year infrastructure strategy • RUGIT SIG on research data – include RLUK and research admin • RUGIT SIG on shared services
