Repository Market Day | Program | Overheads | Photos
Successful implementation of the RQF will be achieved only with a repository in place for each university. Whether this is hosted locally or elsewhere, it is clear that all universities will need to invest in this facility. Representatives of the open source software community and selected commercial suppliers will demonstrate what their systems have to offer.
