DSpace@Cambridge is also currently involved in the following projects:
Cambridge University Preservation Development programme (CUPID) aiming to ensure that those digital resources of the university that need to be preserved for the long term are appropriately cared for and remain accessible and useable.
Incremental is a collaborative project between Cambridge University Library and Humanities Advanced Technology & Information Institute (HATII), University of Glasgow. The aim of the project is to inform, improve and increase research data curation within UK HEIs, by providing exemplars and resources for others to use.
