History

For over 20 years, we have constantly pushed the boundaries, encouraging the adoption and usage of digital technologies within UK teaching, learning and research.

The interactive timeline highlights Jisc's key achievements and milestones. Move forwards and backwards in time and select individual events to reveal further information.

Historically, JISC stood for Joint Information Systems Committee but over the last decade we have evolved and as a company we are now known as Jisc.
