STAR – Sustainable & TrAnsparent Research data
A 12-month project funded by a group of institutional partnersAims
The aim of this project is to support the development by institutions of sustainable arrangements for open and transparent research data. We aim to engage a diverse range of institutions in the project.
Objectives
Understand how institutions have approached the principles set out in the Open Research Data Concordat.
Identify the barriers facing researchers, professional and technical staff, and senior management in their work towards open data.
Describe examples of good practice with regards to the concordat and how any barriers are being addressed.
Bringing this evidence together the UKRN aims to produce materials mapped to the principles of the Open Research Data Concordat to help institutions better implement these principles through policies and real change.
Get Involved
Would you like to share your experiences of Open Data with our research team? Do you have experience of implementing Open Data practice successfully or did you reach roadblocks? We are interested in talking to people from a variety of research disciplines and higher educational institutions. Introduce yourself to the team to get involved.
