JISC Strategy 2010-2012
The new JISC strategy for 2010–2012 comes amid serious economic recession in the UK and abroad, and in a period of unprecedented change in communication and information technologies.
The strategy seeks to emphasise activities designed to bring benefits to the education sector in the short-term, while at the same time maintaining investment in those projects with mid- and long-term benefits: in particular, programmes or services that help to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of universities and colleges, to reduce costs in the short-term, and to enhance the competitiveness of education and research and the economy. Developing more environmental approaches to Information Communications Technology (ICT), particularly those that reduce fuel bills, is part of this agenda.
