Lightning talks

A series of short reflections and case studies from international participants.

The NII research cloud for national data services, Kazutsuna YAMAJI, Research Centre for Open Science in Japan

NII provides a cloud service of the institutional repository which has already been used more than 600 universities in Japan, and is now planning to operate a new service for research data management. Through these experiences I would like to introduce our example how to build the trust partnership with university IT centres and libraries.

Research Data Canada partnerships and collaborations, Mark Leggott, CANARIE

As Canada undertakes the creation of a new national organization for the coordination of HPC, research software and RDM services, the opportunity to redefine the delivery of these services, including the nature of multi-sectoral partnerships, is substantial: Mark Leggott’s remarks will focus on this effort.

Interactive workshop

A discussion to explore partnerships between institutions and providers. How can services like NRENs or coordinating bodies help address sector needs? Can national or disciplinary service models avoid each institution reinventing wheels? How can user groups or other mechanisms help providers engage and partner more effectively?

Proposed output: 

• 'What I wish I knew before...' lessons on collaborative partnerships

Interactive session with inputs from all
