CAUDIT has partnered with the Research Data Storage Infrastructure (RDSI) project to provide a series of vendor technology/solution briefings for the Australian eResearch community. These briefings are targeted at technical staff within eResearch organisations in Australia (see www.aero.edu.au), and eResearch teams and ICT staff within Australian institutions.
The eResearch Technology and Solutions briefings were scheduled monthly during 2013.

For Vendors/Providers
Briefing times are allocated on a first come, first serve basis to vendors and the current timetable is shown above. If you are interested in contributing to this briefing program, please contact Steve Johnston (steve.johnston@caudit.edu.au).
Vendors will be expected to be:
- On the RDSI Vendor Panel (www.rdsi.uq.edu.au/vepa, or committed to applying)
- On the CAUDIT vendor panel (or committed to applying)
- Expected to present material that is centred on the eResearch theme, succinct, relevant, more technical than sales, and highlight the specific offer(s) made through the VePa/CAUDIT vendor panel and their differentiating features/benefits
- Nominated/suggested by RDSI, CAUDIT or a CAUDIT Member/RDSI node
Of particular interest to RDSI is how such solutions could be deployed through the RDSI Nodes to build sustainable eResearch services for the sector.
