Request Received: 14 November 2020
Hi, i am a science student doing an assignment on the scientific storage of data in a work place and laboratory.
I want to know what system is in place you use such as lims.
Also i want to know the benefits and issues with storing large quantities of data and how you send and receive this data within the workplace/lab.
On 18 November we sought clarification from you informing you that "UKRI brings together the seven disciplinary research councils, Research England, which is responsible for supporting research and knowledge exchange at higher education institutions in England, and the UK's innovation agency, Innovate UK".
We asked "Are you specifically asking about workplace and laboratory data systems generated by UKRI staff and scientists or are you interested in the wider storage and dissemination activities in funded research centres and facilities?"
You clarified on 19 November 2020 as follows: Yes, please proceed. I am interested in all data storage and handling, workplace and laboratory data systems and funded research.
