RAdWiki Concept

The idea for a Research Administrators Wiki (RAdWiki) was borne out of a collaboration between several universities and Higher Ed Services centred on a common research management system. The group found there was just as much benefit in sharing ideas and information on business processes and approaches to managing research as there was in solving issues with their IT systems. As the group's interest shifted more to focussing on knowledge sharing it became apparent that a mechanism to support and manage this collective experience was essential. The group has decided to pilot a Wiki solution to build a research administration knowledgebase. In the spirit of many Wiki developments, involvement from across the research administration community is being sought. The idea is that the Wiki technology will facilitate the goal of "joining good ideas together" for research administrators.
