User group
Research Drive user group is to bring the RD user community together, give an update on RD latest developments and releases and discuss topics from the user group. It is also a knowledge exchange platform for the user group. The participants are from institutes with an RD institutional environment and are mainly data stewards, research supporters, and IT staff of the institutes. The participants usually have the role of dashboard admin or contract admin within their Research Drive environment.
If your institute has a Research Drive institutional instance and you would like to participate in the user group meetings, please let us know via the SURF Service Desk.
Research Drive community platform
The user group also has a Research Drive community platform to facilitate discussions and knowledge exchange among the user group. We are currently doing a 1-year pilot with this platform.
