AVROSS Workshop

The AVROSS study is being carried out in response to a European Commission call to report on the factors contributing to e-Infrastructure adoption in social science and humanities (SSH) research in several fields. The aim of the study was to identify and analyze a selected number of the most promising applications of e-Infrastructure in these disciplines, those which have triggered transition to virtual research organizations and motivate sustained e-Infrastructure use. The ultimate goal was to provide recommendations to the Commission based on scenarios for large scale deployment of technologies and applications supporting virtual research organizations and novel services for students based on computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL). The findings will be presented and discussed at the following workshop.
