Abstract

This paper will look at the digital services initiatives being implemented by the ARC Research Network for Early European Research (NEER) - particularly at its use of the enterprise wiki software Confluence for collaborative activities. We will report on how NEER participants are using Confluence and on our expectations for its future growth and development. We will also look at the role of Confluence within the Research Network and its contribution to furthering the Network's goals.
