[InetBib] Survey on Virtual Research Environments and online Collaboration

[Torsten Reimer <torsten.reimer@xxxxxxxxx>]

Liebe Liste,

mit u.a. Umfrage richten wir uns auch an Bibliothekare und ganz 
allgemein an alle, die sich mit Fragen wie virtueller Zusammenarbeit in 
der Wissenschaft und dem Austausch von Daten und Services in virtuellen 
Umgebungen befassen. Wir waeren dankbar, wenn Sie die Einladung zur 
Teilnahme auch an andere Interessierte weiterleiten koennten, besonders 
auch international.


We invite you to participate in the VRE Collaborative Landscape Study 
project that is one of several studies commissioned by the UK Joint 
Information Systems Committee (JISC) to research on-line research 
collaboration in Virtual Research Environments (VREs). The focus of our 
study is to scope developments in VREs around the world and set them in 
relation to the activities in the UK.

The study aims to stimulate debate about the benefits of research 
collaboration facilitated by Virtual Research Environments so as to 
assist the JISC to provide services and strategies to support it.

The project is being undertaken by the Centre for e-Research at King’s 
College London and the Oxford e-Research Centre at the University of Oxford.

What is a VRE?

"...a Virtual Research Environment (VRE) is an an online framework of 
collaborative tools and resources that allow researchers to share and 
re-use data, combine services, and undertake tasks to promote new 
collaborative research practices...."

If you are involved with a VRE as user, developer, manager, information 
specialist or in any kind of support or other role your input would be 
most welcome.
