Description

Introduction to Research Infrastructures

PARTHENOS

Archived snapshot of the ‘Introduction to Research Infrastructures’ module, which is part of the PARTHENOS Training suite [1], which was developed as part of Work Package 7 in the PARTHENOS project [2].

By the end of this module, learners should be able to:

  • Understand the elements of common definitions of research infrastructures
  • Be able to discuss the importance of issues such as sustainability and interoperability
  • Understand how research infrastructure supports methods and communities
  • Be aware of some common critiques of digital research infrastructures in the Humanities.

Background:

The PARTHENOS project [3] recognised that over the past ten years, researchers, institutional leaders and policymakers have begun to speak more and more about infrastructure.  As more voices join the conversation, however, it can sometimes become more difficult, rather than less, to understand what exactly research infrastructure is and does.  In particular in the humanities, and the digital humanities, the term is used to cover a lot of different projects, resources and approaches.

To address this gap, the PARTHENOS cluster of humanities research infrastructure projects devised a series of training modules and resources for researchers, educators, managers, and policy makers who want to learn more about research infrastructures and the issues and methods around them.

The modules, which have been released on a rolling basis from late 2016, cover a wide range of awareness levels, requirements and topic areas within the landscape of research infrastructure.
