The Jisc Kit-Catalogue Pilot

The pilot will take place over a two year period (Aug’14 – Jul’16) with ten institutions. We will explore if Kit-Catalogue can:

Make it easier for institutions to achieve efficiency savings through sharing facilities
Deliver demonstrable progress against the Research Council UK’s (RCUK) strategic goals in this area
Stimulate and facilitate new collaborations, both within HE and with industry.

We will also:

Establish resource requirements to offer Kit-Catalogue as a full cloud hosted Jisc service
Support further development of the Kit-Catalogue software, according to a roadmap developed with pilot institutions
Work with the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC’s) equipment data project to create a user friendly ‘one stop shop’ for equipment sharing.

Together, these databases now include details of over 10,000 items of high value equipment being shared with research and industry.

Pilot institutions

Many of the pilot institutions’ Kit-Catalogue databases are now live. These include:

Aston University
University of Birmingham (under construction)
University of Brighton
De Montfort University
Loughborough University
Newcastle University
Northumbria University
University College London (UCL)
University of Leicester
University of Nottingham
University of Portsmouth (under construction)
