• SHARE Roadmap

• EARNEST Study: research networking infrastructure, tools and services; carried out by ESF combining a survey with 4000 respondents and 30 in-depth interviews.

• EGI-EU Knowledge Base

• Accelerating transition to Virtual Research Organiation in Social Science (AVROSS): the AVROSS study ran a survey to research the uptake of e-Infrastructure in the social sciences and humanities. The data gathered might provide a good starting point for further investigations and the questionnaire used could potetially be adapted to support the requirements gathering in WP3 as well as the gathering of wider infrastructure requirements in WP2. It is contained in the appendix of the final report.

• JISC Community Engagement projects: the three projects in the community engagement strand of the JISC e-Infrastructure programme are currently working to establish a body of evidence about the level of uptake of e-Infrastructure services, the barriers that researchers encounter, the enablers that might widen and deepen uptake as well as examples of usage that can demonstrate good practice or illustrate inspiring examples. In addition, the projects have intervention elvement such as training provision or consultancy and development. Together with the initiatives by service providers and some other funded activities, they represent the UK's response to the problem of widening and deepening uptake. To date, the projects have idenitified 394 researchers from a range of discipline areas who are using e-Infrastructure services to some extent and have set out to conduct interviews with them. About 90 interviews have been conducted so far and are being analysed at the moment.

• WP2SurveyFromKickOff Survey from the kick-off meeting: I have had some problems getting data out of this system. Overall aggregate statistics are fine but getting individual responses is a bit more difficult. Now have what seem to be generic SQL statements that bring the data into a usable form.
