What have you seen change in the area since you started working for the Service back in 2014?
I think my viewpoint has changed because I’m doing a slightly different role. I’m co-investigator and deputy director of the UK Data Service, service strategically.
The co-investigators and the principal investigator get together as part of a strategic leadership group, and we oversee the progress of the service and support our funders, Economic and Social Research Council saudi arabia rcs data and stakeholders to develop our strategic direction to meet the needs of researchers. We also need to ensure the technical infrastructure is in place so that the data are preserved for the long term. It’s about forward migration, making sure that we are always looking to the future. Technology changes so fast and we have to keep pace. A lot of institutions were innovating in technology over the decades and have been coming up with amazing technical platforms, processes, standards and approaches. But we see technology growing everywhere now and we see the need to make sure that we are able to access and utilize technology innovations to work much more effectively in the round. For me that’s a real change.
How important is it that researchers consider impact, in all its forms, during each phase of their projects?
I have always been of the view that all research has impact, even research that isn’t set out with a defined impact plan. Impact is the change we’re going to make in the world. Research is how we understand the planet, people, systems, economies, culture, how people live etc.
