Japan and UK in agreement
March 13, 2012 Leave a comment
In January, I wrote a post about my visit to the Digital Repository Federation in Japan. We wanted to formally mark the visit as the beginning of an ongoing relationship for our mutual benefit. So we agreed to sign a Memorandum of Understanding – we also invited UKCoRR (United Kingdom Council of Research Repositories) to be a partner.
The Memorandum includes a commitment to
- sharing experience and expertise
- inviting and possibly sponsoring representatives from partners to participate in RSP and DRF events
- joint efforts to seek funding and/or support
It is intended that forms the basis for future cooperation. The RSP and the DRF have submitted a joint poster proposal to Open Repositories 2012 about the visit and the memorandum.
