Current Priorities
The DRAC team focus on strategic areas such as research data management, research software engineering, and digital research and provide collaborative advice and support across a range of areas focussed on digital research resources, infrastructure and capability. Our current priority areas are listed below.
Have an idea or ambitious project, need guidance on resources, policy and infrastructure or want to be directed to the best team(s) at UoM who can support your digital research needs?
Research Software Engineering (RSE)
Improving access, productivity, outcomes, and impact for research software engineering at the University, through a proposed RSE Central Platform that supports community building, employment security, and defined career paths.
Digital Research Capability
We recognise there is current unevenness of service use and maturity across disciplines. To address this, we are undertaking a case study in HASS to build experience and further develop engagement strategies. We spent Q4 2022 to Q1 2023 in research and scoping, and implementing developed strategies throughout 2023.
While there is an initial focus on HASS, engagement in promoting awareness of digital infrastructure and services shall continue across all faculties.
