21. RESEARCH DIMENSION

22. RESEARCH DIMENSION
• Francis Crick Institute – biggest biomed facility in
Europe
• “A world class, state-of-the-art scientific facility that
would encourage collaboration and innovation
through flexible and forward thinking design.The
interior of the building balances the need to provide
formal research areas with a mix of informal break
out areas designed to draw people from different
organisations together.”

23. RESEARCH DIMENSION
• Virtual Research Environments
• Failed because research spills out of the home institution
• ResearchGate,Academia.edu, Elsevier and other colonisers
• Fail because they don’t integrate with the institutional environment
• To succeed for researchers, you need both
• Global reach
• Integration within the home institution
• This is what OAE does

24. KEY POINTS
• Helps people research, learn and work together more
effectively
• Scales to millions of users
• Multi-tenanted
• Universal user experience
• Ecology-oriented
• No boundaries

25. OBJECTIVE
• Connect the whole of academia
• Every University
• Faculty, Students,Administrators,Applicants,Alumnae

26. STRATEGIC STRENGTHS
• Like Facebook,Academia.edu, ResearchGate, Elsevier
• The technology is now available to the rest of us
• But three big differences:
1. Tenancies owned and controlled by the universities
2. Serious pedagogic and research mission
3. Ecology not Colonisation
• Our role is midwife, like Red Hat to Linux

29. NETWORK

30. COMING UP
• 300 university site licenses, including half the world'sTop
200 universities being migrated onto the OAE in the
coming months
• UK, Europe,Australia & NZ,Africa, North America, Middle
East
• About 200,000 paid-for users
• Another 300 customers ranging including research councils,
research institutes, learned societies and scholarly
publishers also being migrated
