Move research beyond the repository into policy, practice and public value - then evidence it.
Harvest existing research infrastructure and add a governed knowledge-mobilisation workflow with an impact trail.

Five gaps research institutions describe, and what DER does about each.
Where evidence gets stuck
What it costs the institution
How DER fills the gap
Where evidence gets stuck
Research outputs are spread across repositories, centres and researcher profiles
What it costs the institution
Institutional knowledge is incomplete and hard to mobilise
How DER fills the gap
OAI-PMH harvesting, persistent identifiers, taxonomy and linked project, funder and output records
Where evidence gets stuck
Academic formats do not fit policy and public audiences
What it costs the institution
High-quality research has low uptake outside the discipline
How DER fills the gap
Policy briefs, executive summaries, public explainers, media releases and stakeholder packs from approved source text
Where evidence gets stuck
Knowledge-exchange activity is not integrated with the research record
What it costs the institution
Engagement is episodic and institutional memory is weak
How DER fills the gap
Product workflow, audience and channel metadata, stakeholder records and activity history
Where evidence gets stuck
Impact assessment relies too heavily on publications and citations
What it costs the institution
Societal and policy contributions remain invisible or anecdotal
How DER fills the gap
Attention, use, uptake and follow-through model plus verified impact cases and policy links
Where evidence gets stuck
Open science creates opportunity and responsibility
What it costs the institution
Openness without rights, sensitivity and context can cause harm
How DER fills the gap
Rights, licence and sensitivity metadata, access controls and appropriate public and restricted outputs

Typical starting package
DER Institutional; DER Portfolio for research councils and multi-centre groups.
Your repository proves research exists. DER helps prove where it travelled, who used it and what it changed.
DER harvests existing research infrastructure and adds a governed knowledge-mobilisation workflow. Researchers and communication teams can create audience-specific products without losing the source, funder or authorship trail, while impact teams document policy references, uptake and credible contribution cases beyond citations.
Capabilities shown are the configuration DER is designed around. Scope, integrations and timelines are agreed with each institution.
