Jisc are running a consultation on which co-design ideas to develop. We are into the last few days of voting – voting closes on the 30th January.
This is a great opportunity to be involved in steering the next big ideas that Jisc takes into discovery and potentially, development.
Here is a general page about the consultation: https://www.jisc.ac.uk/rd/how-we-innovate/co-design-consultation-2016-17
There are two ideas in the running in the research area:
- Which skills do people need to prepare for research practice now and in the future?
- What should a next-generation research environment look like?
Individual links to the challenge pages with the details of the ideas that arose from the first part of the consultation are here: https://www.jisc.ac.uk/rd/get-involved
They want your opinion! There is a form on each of the challenge pages that you can use to express your support for any of the areas and all submissions via this form will be visible publicly. If you want to express support privately then please contact andy.mcgregor@jisc.ac.uk.
