Leaping Hurdles – JISC meeting #1
CREW was presented in a short session covering all four VRE phase 2 projects. The event was a JISC funded workshop in Edinburgh (NESC 9th June 2009). This acted also as one of two wrap-up sessions.
This workshop also considered the Community Engagement projects.
Some random points, areas to be tackled and thoughts :
- Visualization of user awareness – lots of people are unaware of tools.
- Security – data issues.
- Support infrastructure – how to create an aligned infrastructure: key is AG
- How to start a new service…?
- Q – what stops or hinders research.
Lots of points raied on taking prototypes and current systems to the next stage – and enable new research.
Aside: Last month there was a longer presentation on CREW which is available on slideshare.
