About the Project

Research360 was one of a number of projects funded through the Jisc Managing Research Data Programme. It was a large institutional project aimed at piloting policies, infrastructure and training resources to provide high-quality support for research, to ensure that the University of Bath and its partners get the best possible value from data generated by research.

The project concentrated in particular on data generated during collaborative research with industry. Initially it applied the research lifecycle model to the Faculties of Science and Engineering. Project outputs were ultimately implemented across the institution. Research360 also provided guidance documents and exemplar case studies to other HEIs undertaking similar processes.

The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) is a key funder of research at the University. In April 2011, EPSRC published its Policy Framework on Research Data, identifying nine expectations of organisations in receipt of EPSRC funding. Meeting the EPSRC Policy Framework on Research Data expectations was a major element of the project.

The project team drew on experience from across the University, including representatives from the Vice-Chancellor’s Office, RDSO, the Library and Bath University Computer Service (BUCS). The work used the Doctoral Training Centre based in the cross-Faculty Centre for Sustainable Chemical Technologies as a central hub for data management and training activities. Work took place in conjunction with the DCC at Bath. The Research360 Project was complementary to the University of Bath's Jisc-funded REDm-MED Project.

The Research360 project ran between October 2011 and July 2013.
