With the project officially ended, team members are keen to ensure EP2DC finds broad utilisation.  The team at Southampton has no misconceptions about the fact encouraging uptake will prove a greater challenge than the development effort of the past 6 months. 

It is clear though that the scientific community recognizes the merits and benefits of effective research data management, and we are optimistic that our efforts to encourage uptake will be well received.  A core team  of Kenji Takeda, Tim Austin, and Mark Scott will thus continue to maintain and develop the facility in anticipation of opportunities to serve the research data management needs of the scientific community.
