ERA Under the Bonnet

Background

Institutions are busy putting in place business approaches and suitable systems to prepare their Excellence in Research for Australia submissions. The ARC will soon issue final guidelines and technical specifications for the ERA and this presents an ideal time for people involved in the 'practical issues' of ERA submissions to meet and discuss their differing approaches.

This Forum will provide an opportunity for people involved in managing research data and

repositories for the ERA to compare and contrast their approaches and discuss issues of interest and as a collective to provide understanding/ clarity in areas of concern.

The ARC will be attending this forum and discussing the practical issues supporting the ERA submission.

This event is supported by Higher Ed Services, CRAG and ARMS.
