Research IT Academic Advisory Group (RITAAG)

Description

Member of the Research IT Academic Advisory Group (RITAAG). The main aim of RITAAG is to act as the key sounding board for connecting researchers and the direction and operation of Research IT. Through the group, members will give the academic research community a strong and coherent voice in the operation, development, and implementation of the University’s IT Strategy for Research. The main objectives are:

- To ensure that Research IT platforms and services are used fairly across the University
- Provide feedback on the current and future IT needs of researchers, both at the University and their external collaborators.
- Ensure that Research IT services meet the strategic research goals of the University and those provided by funding bodies in the immediate and longer term.
- Ensure that any plans deliver operationally to raise the capabilities available for researchers.

In order to do all this RITAAG will feed into several other senior governance groups including the Research IT Strategy and Change Management Board (RITSCMB) and the Research Lifecycle Project Board.

The group will promote and champion the University’s Computation and Data in Research (CaDiR) community. Anyone in the research community can become a member of CaDiR and engage with researchers from across the University in common areas of interest such as data science, imaging, mapping and GIS, and more.
