UKRN: Open Research: moving from individual recommendations to coordinated action – part 1

Online

This is the first of a six-part online programme, bringing together funders, publishers, infrastructure providers, researchers, and research professionals to drive coordinated cross-sector action and make open research a reality in the UK.

DisCouRSE Focus Group: The dRTP-PRISM Interface

Kings College London King's Building KIN 427, Strand Campus, Kings College London, London, United Kingdom

This focus group, run as a satellite event to the 2026 PRISM Network Conference, is an opportunity for PRISMs and dRTPs to come together and explore these questions openly. Through short talks, discussion sessions, and collaborative activities, participants at every level of experience will share what’s worked, what hasn’t, including pain points and frictions that can arise when different priorities, systems, and working practices meet. A key aim of the day is to turn the collective experience of the group into a short, practical guidance document for the PRISM community. This resource will help PRISMs better support digital research collaborations, and contribute to a clearer, shared understanding of the needs, constraints, and expertise that dRTPs bring to research projects.
