The document outlines the key points from a presentation on UK National E-Infrastructure user requirements. It discusses perspectives from early career researchers based on a survey of 17,000 doctoral students, a researcher's vision for the next five years, and how stakeholders can collaborate to provide training, resources and support to realize this vision, which includes open access to materials, collaboration tools and world-class research facilities.

UK National E-Infrastructure User Requirements 25
Five years from now, I will:
- Be trained on Open Science
practices as part of my induction
- Work with predominantly Open
Access / Open Data materials
- Receive active E-Infrastructure
support from my HEI / RO
- Collaborate with researchers around
the world as a matter of course
- Have access to world class facilities
at my HEI / RO and elsewhere
