For UAT 2 September 2026.
Research Data Scotland (RDS) is an independent charity established in 2021 by the Scottish Government. We work in partnership with other organisations in Scotland and the UK to build on and transform key aspects of the data research system.
We are working to improve lives by enabling research and, through that, better evidence-based decisions. There are social and economic benefits to data research, and we want to enable more of it by helping to make the processes faster and simpler.
The six-month project will see the service design agency create a new website and brand assets, and design a new application service.
