2. Your Priorities – Challenges from Jisc Digifest
‑ Active storage is not compliance, evidence of HEIs repeating the same patterns & interpreting compliance differently.
‑ Creating compelling services that will appeal to researchers.
‑ Getting researchers to engage ; researchers /PI think of it as their data.
‑ Building trust across the parts of the HEI that are involved.
‑ Political issues.‑ Disciplinary differences.‑ Misconceptions – not all data is open
– needto be clear and ensure this is understood.
‑ Tools that take you through the whole journey.
‑ 150 HEIs coming up with own solutions!

4. Gaps and opportunities – liaison activities
Liaison :UK HEIs and research institutes – e.g. DBIS, HEFCE, libraries, IT directors, RCUK , publishers etc
Research Sector Transparency Board, RCUK National E-Infrastructure Group & E-Infrastructure Leadership Council
Work with international initiatives:
»Research Data Alliance, CODATA, EuroCRIS, ANDS
»Knowledge Exchange – at the moment through the KE we are exploring incentives to sharing & funding models for research data infrastructure
European projects: SIM4RDM & 4Cs
Jisc CASRAI - UK pilot :development of related vocabularies and standards, for example data management plans vocabularies

4. Gaps and opportunities – Co-Design process
Co-design – Research at Risk !
There is currently an inefficient and fragmented approach to research data management throughout the UK. This leads to underperformance and cost inefficiencies across universities. There is a real risk to universities in failing to comply with government and funder requirements and be prepared for REF 2020.

4. Gaps and opportunities – potential futures
‑ What is compliance, Jisc can help clarify this, RCUK compliance for each of the components? We need a national understanding of compliance.
‑ Breaking down the silos that exist – format, standards, visualisations – currently there needs to be more effort on this area.
‑ Shared services, both central solutions and coordinated solutions. Can we have a national solution?
‑ Case studies, Toolkits, Standards.‑ An approach to help change academic
practice; hearts & minds.
