The purpose of the Advisory Group for Digital Research Infrastructure is to serve as an independent expert body providing advice on the balance and priorities of the Digital Research Infrastructure (DRI) programme to UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Executive Committee.
Advisory group members directly impact the digital research infrastructure ecosystem in the UK by:
- providing advice to UKRI Executive Committee on prioritising options for investment in DRI
- providing advice to the DRI programme leadership on prioritising activities across and within the thematic areas articulated in the UKRI DRI strategy
- providing advice to the DRI programme leadership on refinements to the portfolio, to progress towards delivering the programme’s objectives
- providing advice to UKRI on the opportunities and challenges for the UK’s DRI
- assisting UKRI with identifying, quantifying and mitigating risk
- acting as a ‘rapid response’ group if advice is needed outside of the routine cycle of meetings
