RQF and Repositories | Helpful Documents | Helpful LinksFor many universities, there will be a significant challenge in meeting the requirements of the proposed Research Quality Framework. While some will have the necessary administrative and technical infrastructure in place, others will need to modify existing systems or introduce new ones for the purpose. The issue goes beyond the technical, extending well into the management practices surrounding research offices and institutional repositories.
APSR, ARROW and the Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST)are pleased to provide a one-day event aimed at building communication between repository managers and research office managers. Speakers will explain and elucidate the requirements for the RQF, and with the guidance and expertise of APSR and ARROW, managed discussion will draw out issues for participants.
