STEP-UP project

When is it better for digital research technical professionals to be embedded in research groups vs in central teams?

University of Westminster - Cavendish Campus

Digital Research Research Technical Professionals (dRTPs) work with research software, research data and research computing infrastructure to support and undertake research. As research is becoming increasingly computational and the demand for dRTPs is growing rapidly, we see different models emerging for where these technical professionals are based.When is it better for dRTPs to be embedded in research groups vs in central teams? Join us to explore how different universities in London organise their software, data and computing infrastructure professionals. What factors affect embedding this expertise within discipline-specific teams, or within central teams? What are the pros and cons of each system? This event is organised by the STEP-UP project (https://step-up.ac.uk/) and is hosted by the University of Westminster.
