Andy Turner's Research Organisations Page

Introduction

• Information about research organisations.
• Many of the organisations listed in this page are not purely research organisations but serve other functions. For most research is arguably their primary function.
• Collaboration in virtual organisations is increasing research efficiency and driving our capabilities to develop understand and organise for specific reasons.
• Virtual organisations often cross institutional boundaries and projects and developments often occur without the awareness of managers within particular institutions.
• Many research organisations are loosley coupled based on specific collaborations or projects. I have been involved in numerous research projects involving numerous partners from universities, other funded bodies, and commercial business.
• Much open source software development is undertaken by researchers. The management and organisation of open development of software is interesting. My software page details my involvement in software development.
• I am keen to help set up and develop new research organisations (and infrastructure to support these) if I am convinced of the benefits and there are no existing effective vehicles instantiated for the specific purpose.
• New research eScience frameworks are emerging based on Internet developments and ubiquitous computing. The future is collaboration on a global scale :)
• In this page I list Current research organisation affiliations, Previous research organisation affiliations, and other Related Research Organisations. I have not broken any ties, but research organisations evolve over time and some become redundant.
• I am making an attmept to clarify my roles and involvement in these research organisations by developing a web page associated with each.
