Session Overview

This session will confirm what we mean by sustainability, as there are lots of different things that need to be sustained and lots of routes to achieve sustainability. It will allow us to answer the following essential questions:

  1. What are the types of project innovations that get sustained?
  2. What are the models and options (now and in the future) to making my project sustainable both within my institutions and beyond?
  3. How can JISC approach sustainability better?

The first half of the session will be spent talking about project innovations that need to be sustained (software, services, people/communities and content) and the second talking about the ways that JISC (and other) projects have achieved sustainability.

The session will be documented and outcomes will be fed into the development of a JISC Sustainability Toolkit, allowing the outcomes from this session to be sustained!
