Strategic aims and key deliverables

JISC's previous strategic aims continue to remain valid but the new aims reflect a refocusing on outcomes and impact

The strategic aims reflect JISC's need to support both government objectives and the needs of the education and research communities. In achieving its aims JISC will work with key strategic partners and will advise, inform and help implement the strategies of government, funding councils and research councils.
