JISC e-Framework working group

The e-Framework programme was managed by the JISC e-Framework working group since May 2005 and met on a monthly basis; it consisted of innovation services (UKOLN, CETIS) and JISC Executive staff, plus other relevant experts.

In July 2006, the working group was under new membership with greater focus on integrating the e-Framework into JISC innovation programmes. As part of this set up, JISC Programme Directors and one or two Programme Managers from each team attended quarterly meetings. Additionally the Programme Managers attended up to four further meetings a year. One representative from CETIS and one representative from UKOLN were invited to attend, plus other relevant experts as necessary.
