Funding research data management and related infrastructures
Knowledge Exchange and Science Europe both defined activities to explore how RDM/RDI are, or can be, funded. Independently they each planned to survey users and providers of data services. On becoming aware of the similar objectives and approaches, the Science Europe Working Group on Research Data and the Knowledge Exchange Research Data expert group joined forces and devised a joint activity to collect information and produce a report to inform the discussion on the funding of RDM/RDI in Europe, to help raise awareness of the current challenges, and subsequently to communicate opportunities for coordinated action to relevant stakeholders. This briefing paper presents the results of the joint activity, detailing the approach and main outcomes of the study.
