The immersiveInformatics Project is building a distinctive training pilot programme that aims to equip a broad range of academic staff roles with Research Data Management skills as a key element of capacity and capability building. The immersiveInformatics programme will provide participants with the essential knowledge required to describe, manage, identify, access, preserve and re-use research data. An array of reporting and sharing tools will available to help participants reflect upon and communicate their training experience and findings.

The project is a collaboration between the University of Melbourne, UKOLN, and the University of Bath.

The Smart Research Framework (SRF) is a collection of three tools: LabTrove and Blog3, two alternative blogging platforms adapted for use as electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs), and LabBroker, a tool for piping data from instruments into ELNs. This project developed these tools into cloud-based services for the UK higher education sector.

The KRDS/I2S2 Digital Preservation Benefit Analysis Tools Project took the Keeping Research Data Safe (KRDS) Benefits Framework and the I2S2 Value Chain Analysis tools, and combined and developed them to produce a benefit analysis toolkit. The ultimate aim of this was to support researchers and support staff in making a business case for digital preservation.
