Jisc has expressed strong support for UK Research and Innovation’s (UKRI) response to the Mapping Federation Journeys for Optimising the UK Digital Research Infrastructure report. The report highlights the importance of enhancing the UK’s digital research infrastructure (DRI) through collaboration and federation, promoting a resilient, sustainable, and inclusive research and innovation ecosystem.
The report emphasizes the critical role that digital research infrastructure plays in fostering collaborative and sustainable research systems within the UK and globally. Jisc particularly supports UKRI’s commitment to federation and interoperability, principles that align with Jisc’s longstanding initiatives and future plans.
UKRI’s response reflects several key recommendations from the Jisc report, including collective engagement with technology suppliers, developing DRI to support secure and trusted research, and ensuring the sustainability of the UK’s research infrastructure.
This ongoing conversation is expected to lead to improved ways of working, greater collaboration across the sector, and the use of data and digital solutions to overcome barriers in research and development.
