Brief introduction describing the activities and scope of the group
The Research Data Architectures in Research Institutions Interest Group is primarily concerned with technical architectures for managing research data within universities and other multi-disciplinary research institutions. It provides insight into the approaches being taken to the development and operation of such architectures and their success or otherwise in enabling good practice.
 
The main themes of the IG are

Exploring how diverse tools, technologies, and services can be integrated to meet the evolving needs of researchers in research institutions.

Considering interoperability between institutional research data infrastructures and (inter)national or discipline-based infrastructures

Understanding the different institutional approaches to governance structures and business processes in responding to research ICT demands (e.g. capacity planning/forecasting for storage)

Sharing case studies of solutions developed by data infrastructure projects in research institutions

Presenting technical innovations and ideas that can further the development of integrated research data infrastructures

Agreeing best practice relating to research data architectures in research institutions

Meeting objectives
As an Interest Group concerned with architectures of institutional data management services, we have in the past tended to focus on learning from institutions from western countries. The broad theme for the next session will be the challenges facing institutions Africa and South America, and how these might be overcome. In the session emerging innovations will be shared that address the challenges of research data management in low and middle-income countries. As there are increasing demands on increasing the interoperability and exchange of data to enable research collaboration, what architectures are being designed to enable this interoperability and exchange. Which examples are there of regional and institutional projects in these regions addressing this and how do these intersect? How can regional and international exchange assist in addressing these challenges?

Please indicate at least (3) three breakout slots that would suit your meeting.
Breakout 2, Breakout 5, Breakout 8
