Hi Everyone,

The Uptake of Digital Research Infrastructure working group is meeting on 24 September 2025 11am UTC.

Please email [email protected] to let us know if you would like to attend.

Agenda:

• Planning for IDW session (session description)

• Progress definitions, particularly Uptake.

Last meeting:

The Uptake of Digital Research Infrastructure working group met on September 4, and we made great progress on two key items:

Defining Digital Research Infrastructure (DRI)

Advancing the user survey design.

 We need your insights!

We are seeking your input on the definition of Digital Research Infrastructure, and especially if the drafted definition aligns with digital research infrastructure you are familiar with.

Please add your notes/comments in the definitions document.

From previous meetings, there is a draft definition of Uptake.

Again, please add your thoughts in the definitions document.

 Survey Contributions Needed!

We’re gathering examples of surveys related to the use of DRI, for example, any annual user surveys. If you have examples of survey questions (not data) that you are able to share, please add them to this folder.

We’ve begun to design the survey and noted the questions suggested at previous plenaries for different user groups. Please join our group on the RDA website if you have not done so already, this makes communication much easier.

We hope to see you then! If you are unable to attend, please add your comments to the shared documents – asynchronous work is very welcome.

Kind regards,

Stefanie, Liv and Kylie
