Wiki - http://wiki.esi.ac.uk/Adoption_of_e-Research_Technologies
The aim of the theme is to study factors that may inhibit the wider diffusion and adoption of e-Research technologies and tools, and devise strategies for tackling them. The success of the UK e-Science Core programme has encouraged other disciplines - notably within social sciences, and the arts and humanities - to explore the benefits of e-Research approaches and technologies. Evidence is beginning to accumulate, however, of significant barriers which need to be investigated, understood and tackled in a concerted way. This theme will conduct a series of case studies to define the problem space and, by bringing together a multi-disciplinary network of leading members of research communities and experts in fields such as e-Infrastructure, usability and innovation studies, it will develop a road map for encouraging the take-up of e-Research.
