ARDC (formerly ANDS-Nectar-RDS) have jointly funded 8 Data Enhanced Virtual Laboratories (DEVL). The DEVLs aim to provide data and software infrastructure to meet the needs of Australian research communities and to enhance research collaboration and outcomes.

In June & July's TechTalk events, representatives from each of the DEVLs will introduce their projects from a developers' perspective:

• the problem the project is trying to solve,
• the tech stacks deployed and to be developed,
• the approaches of their software development and
• community engagement while developing tools and applications.

This month in DEVL #2 July (6th), we welcome speakers from: GeoScience, Characterisation, BioScience, and Culture and Communities.

Speakers:

1. Geoscience, Carsten Friedrich (AuScope Virtual Research Environments DEVL)
2. Characterisation, DEVL, Lance Wilson
3. Bioscience, Jeff Christiansen (Data Enhanced and User Enhanced Genomics Virtual Lab - BioDEVL)
4. Culture and Communities, Sarah Nisbet, Alexis Tindall (Humanities and Social Science DEVL)
