The EDC team attended the UKERC 2026 Annual Assembly held at the Edinburgh Futures Institute, which brought together UKERC members from across the consortium along with members from industry and government. This event showcased the working being done within the UKERC research themes, promoted discussions on the importance of energy research within the current energy landscape, and promoted cross-consortium collaboration through Research Integration. The EDC gave a talk discussing the recent work the team has been doing including the introduction of new data management tools and continued improvements to our service. This led to numerous discussions on new ways the EDC could further collaborate with the wider UKERC consortium.
