The final session of the closing workshop for the JISC Managing Research Data ought to be a time for reflection on the whole programme, and of course it was. Programme Manager Simon Hodson introduced a six-strong panel to answer two questions, first “what were the biggest successes and areas of progress in the last few years”, and two “what recommendations would you make for the next steps to develop a coherent research data management infrastructure and support service?”
