The Alliance Researcher Council was established in 2020 to facilitate regular consultation between the Digital Research Alliance of Canada (the Alliance) and researchers across Canada, and to help the Alliance in establishing a researcher centric DRI ecosystem. Members of the Researcher Council represent a range of cultures, languages, identities, expertise and regions, as well as a broad array of academic disciplines and institutions, ensuring that the diversity of researcher voices is represented to the Alliance.
As a key component of the Alliance, the Researcher Council provides advice to the Alliance Management and Board of Directors on researcher needs for DRI infrastructure and services. The Researcher Council also advises the Alliance on the development of its strategic vision and priorities to best serve the Canadian research community.
