What do researchers want from ICT? The JISC-funded Community Engagement projects set out to answer this question. This event will present some of their findings and stimulate debate on what needs to happen next.

Examples will be presented where innovative ICT techniques have been successfully incorporated into research processes. Barriers to success will be highlighted followed by solutions developed under the ENGAGE and JISC Virtual Research Environment projects. The debate will then be opened up to arrive at the next steps in ensuring that researchers have access to the ICT provision they need.
