uk national e-infrastructure user requirements: project directors group, may 2014
DESCRIPTION
These are my slides on UK National E-Infrastructure User Requirements, for the May 2014 meeting of the E-Infrastructure Project Directors Group. In this talk I take the perspective of an early career researcher, now and in five years' time, and consider some possible interventions that would mean that the researchers of tomorrow are fully prepared to use e-infrastructure facilities in the UK and internationally to participate in open science. This work builds on the Researchers of Tomorrow study conducted by Jisc and the British Library, of which more at: http://www.jisc.ac.uk/media/documents/publications/reports/2012/Researchers-of-Tomorrow.pdfTRANSCRIPT

A Researcher’s Five Year Vision
Five years from now, I will:
‑ Be trained on Open Science practices as part of my induction
‑ Work with predominantly Open Access / Open Data materials
‑ Receive active E-Infrastructure support from my HEI / RO
‑ Collaborate with researchers around the world as a matter of course
‑ Have access to world class facilities at my HEI / RO and elsewhere
