  • Data First 2019 UCL Research Data Strategy
    RESEARCH DOMAINS eRESEARCH Data First 2019 UCL Research Data Strategy Report by the UCL eResearch Domain: Co-chairs: Prof Phil Luthert and Prof Jonathan Tennyson Strategic Research Coordinator: Dr Louise Chisholm Executive summary Our vision is for UCL to create an environment that optimises researchers’ capacity to flourish using data. This includes external data created in a non-research context which is used as the starting point for research and data generated during the research process. Uniquely, data can be reused without being degraded and its reuse can create new value. Our aim is for UCL to be the leading institution for data-focused research and to inspire and empower our research community for the long-term benefit of humanity. Effective harnessing of research data can lead to increased research funding, publications, citations, and socio-economic impact. This supports key institutional strategies including UCL 2034, UCL Research Data Policy (2018), and the Innovation and Enterprise Strategy (2016). Responding to a new landscape Technological advances have expanded the number of disciplines which use data and associated methodologies. More external organisations are collecting data which can be used as a basis of new research. Open Science encourages data to be shared as openly as possible and as closed as necessary. This impacts all faculties, the UCL’s broad corpus of data can initiate new interdisciplinary research. Research funders and the UK government promote the use of data in research by launching new funding opportunities via the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund, Research Councils, and Alan Turing Institute. At the same time, the regulatory and legal environment is becoming increasingly complex for researchers to navigate, following GDPR and similar legislation.
