For a federated system to be successful, it needs to have sufficient technical governance in place to ensure that it can operate efficiently, whilst avoiding the creation of significant burdens on operators that may deter participation. This workshop aims to gather input from operators to identify an optimal level of governance that would deliver the most effective balance.

The workshop will complement the projects being taken forward through the Network+ Flexible Funding. These projects include detailed exploration of Identity and Access Management (IAM), and will provide recommendations on the optimal IAM approach. IAM therefore does not need to be covered in detail here.

  • Adrian Hines

Adrian’s scientific background is in ocean modelling and data assimilation, having spent his early career developing ocean forecast systems at the Met Office. He subsequently led teams developing coupled models for weather forecasting and climate prediction, before moving on to lead delivery of applied science to provide customer-focused outputs across a range of sectors. He then moved into scientific IT, leading a team of scientific software engineers providing underpinning IT capability to support work in climate research. In May 2022, Adrian took on his current role at STFC with responsibility for leading work on JASMIN (https://jasmin.ac.uk) which provides data storage and compute for the environmental science community. Adrian is a Chartered Marine Scientist, and a Fellow of Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology.
