About the speaker
Patricia is a Research Data Specialist at the Digital Curation Centre based at the University of Edinburgh. Before joining DCC in 2019, she worked as a data librarian at CERN’s Scientific Information Service and a Research Repository Advisor at the University of Birmingham. She is a Software Sustainability Institute Fellow, contributor to the Turing Way handbook, Open Life Science programme mentor and HiddenREF committee member.
About the talk
Research is dependent on a wide variety of research outputs and professional support roles that facilitate the conduct of research. Currently, these outputs and people often do not get the recognition deserved. This talk will introduce the Hidden REF, a competition that recognises all research outputs and every role that makes research possible. It will cover the motivation for creating the initiative and provide an overview of its timeline and approach.
