Better incentives for researchers and fewer barriers between technological systems are key to kickstarting a revolution in open data, according to Realising Potential, a report released today by the Open Research Data Task Force (ORDTF) – a group of senior professors and UK higher education and research organisations and Chaired by Professor Pam Thomas, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research at the ¹û¶³´«Ã½

The ¹û¶³´«Ã½ is to benefit from over £10 million in funding for two cutting-edge centres to train the next generation of doctoral level students in one of the UK’s most significant investments in research skills.

The ¹û¶³´«Ã½ is one of 26 UK universities receiving funding from the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) for its Impact Acceleration Account (IAA). The funding award was announced today [31] by the ESRC and followed a competitive, peer-reviewed process.

An innovative project exploring what the arts and humanities can bring to the study of law is to be supported by funding from the Leverhulme Trust.
