NetDRIVE is seeking delegates for a network that will provide Transformational Change Guidance for sustainable research computing.

The Network will provide a diverse, inclusive, and safe forum for discussion of emerging challenges and opportunities and add authority to advice issued through voted recommendations. Network delegates will commit to rules of engagement to ensure open and inclusive dialogue.  

The Network will provide a forum for thought leadership within which creative thinkers from across the spectrum of DRI users and managers can share and develop ideas to deliver the transition to net zero. Network members will bring wisdom and expertise from across the academic community, DRI facilities and external stakeholders.  

The Network membership must represent a broad range of expertise and experience with a target membership of 150 people. The envisaged network will be composed of nominated key stakeholders, community members recruited through an open call and invited international domain specialists. By design, the professional, organisational, academic, and geographical diversity of the UKRI DRI community, and the societal diversity, including age, gender, and ethnicity will be represented. Membership will include representation from the private sector as well as from all parts of UKRI.
