In May 2016, Louise attended a symposium on behalf of the ESRC to address data archiving infrastructure for the EU-India Platform (EQUIP), the first research collaboration platform between India and the EU specifically dedicated to Social Science and Humanities. The platform will support a significant corpus of national research funding agencies from Europe and India in building stronger relationships and stepping up international collaborations
At the symposium Louise was reunited with austria rcs data some of the Indian colleages in 2015 and learned that their team had quickly put their plans into action and set up the pilot ICSSR Data Service, implemented by India’s Information and Library Network (INFLIBNET) Centre, an Autonomous Inter-University Centre (IUC) of University Grants Commission, with funding from ICSSR, and based on the UK Data Archive model and protocols.
Dr Jagdis Arora, Director of INFLIBNET spoke of the great support that the UK Data Archive had provided in offering a blueprint for India’s new national data service. Many of the Archive’s policies and procedures had been adapted and implemented in the form of web site structure, use of metadata schema and data cataloguing methods. The ICSSR Data Service is a culmination of the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between ICSSR and India’s Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI), and is guided by a Joint Advisory Committee, with representatives from ICSSR, MOSPI and other key agencies such as Economic and Political Weekly, Mumbai and a range of academic social science research centres.
