Research Access Blueprint Workshop
The NFCS funded project Bridging the Gap is running an interactive online workshop to gather feedback on a draft blueprint, focused on improving how researchers gain access to digital research infrastructure after project approval.
The session will include a short overview of the model, followed by structured small-group discussions on what feels realistic in practice, where things might break, and what institutions would need in place for this to work. No technical background is required.
Who it’s for: research administrators, IT and infrastructure teams, governance and policy colleagues, and research leaders.
When: 3rd February 2026, 2:00 – 4:30pm, GMT
Where: Online (Microsoft Teams)
