[HASS-RG] [Fwd: Survey: Virtual Research Environment Collaborative Landscape Study]

[Tobias Blanke]

We invite you to participate in the VRE Collaborative Landscape Study 
project that is researching on-line research collaboration in Virtual 
Research Environments (VREs). The focus of our study is to scope 
developments in VREs around the world, across all disciplines.

The study aims to stimulate debate about the benefits of research 
collaboration facilitated by Virtual Research Environments so as to 
assist the UK Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) to provide 
services and strategies to support it.

The project is being undertaken by the Centre for e-Research at King’s 
College London and the Oxford e-Research Centre at the University of Oxford.

What is a VRE?

           "...a Virtual Research Environment (VRE) is an an online 
framework of collaborative tools and resources that allow researchers to 
share and re-use data, combine services, and undertake tasks to promote 
new collaborative research practices...."

If you are a user, manager, information specialist, developer, or 
provide support for VREs, your input would be most welcome.
