Exchanging Ideas with The University of Melbourne

Anna Shadbolt, Information Manager, University of Melbourne has been visiting Higher Education Institutes in The United States and Britain to exchange ideas on data managment.

Anna is currently at the University of Glasgow where she has been meeting with representatives including staff from Human Resources, Humanities Advanced Technology and Information Institute (including Digital Curation Centre), Research Strategy and Innovation, Library and IT Services.

I had a very informative discussion with Anna where we touched on several topics including an overview of the C4D projec and models for funding data managementsuch as the National Science Foundation approach that allow a small % contribution of the grant toward data management costs.
