Each day of the retreat will focus on a different priority of the UKRI Digital Research Infrastructure Programme to support the UK's goal of building a strong, connected, and sustainable digital research system. These priorities, while distinct, are interconnected and work together to enhance the DRI and deliver better research solutions for the UK research community.
These priorities are :
- Interconnected DRI
- Human DRI
- FAIR DRI
- Sustainable DRI
The first four days of the retreat will focus on one of these themes, and on the final day, we will discuss Sovereign AI. The structure of each session is yet to be confirmed, and the format may vary (e.g., a panel, a roundtable discussion, or a workshop).
