The UK government has ambitious plans for a National Data Library, and a lot of the important technical choices remain to be made. Together with @wellcometrust, @esrc is running a Technical White Paper challenge to invite proposals for how to make it work best!

You may have seen the news yesterday that the future of UK In a Changing Europe was in doubt, and that ESRC is not providing further funding. UKICE is a superb project that we are honoured to have been able to support. I thought it would helpful, in the spirit of openness, to explain the processes and rationale that lie behind this, and our future plans for funding impact-focused social science. docs.google.com/document/d/17c…

While candidates and campaigners are pounding the pavements for the final few hours, I wanted to pay tribute to some unsung heroes of the General Election: the @BESResearch team.
