Timetabling and resource scheduling
This event is now at full capactiy
The JISC-sponsored study on timetabling and resource allocation was published earlier this year. This event will share and discuss the insights and recommendations arising from the study.
The timetabling and resource scheduling study looks at common approaches to timetabling and resource scheduling adopted across the sector, identifies the common challenges and issues, and considers the building blocks required to meet some of these challenges.
The event will also see the launch of the Academic Registrars Council (ARC) Timetabling Practitioner Group and promotion of the Association of University Administrators (AUA) Space Management Special Interest Group (SIG).
Major vendors of timetabling and resource scheduling systems will represented at the event, including: CELCAT, Scientia and Serco Facility CMIS.
This event is free of charge.
