How innovation helps to support an agile and efficient university : JISC

How can universities benefit from positioning themselves as being innovative organisations? This session will look at a number of areas where innovative solutions have improved both efficiency and cost effectiveness within institutions. What is required within research and learning information environments to stimulate innovation? What resources, tools, models and frameworks do universities have to enable innovation? What else do they need? This will be an interactive session where panel members will stimulate the discussion and delegates will have the opportunity to raise their own issues and ideas. Can these offer improvements in efficiency and save costs within your institution? Examples could be: a VRE as an aid to collaboration and improved research; Identity Management as a way of improving access to resources. These are just some examples of where innovation has improved efficiency and reduced costs.

Abstract	How can universities benefit from positioning themselves as being innovative organisations? This session will look at a number of areas where innovative solutions have improved both efficiency and cost effectiveness within institutions. What is required within research and learning information environments to stimulate innovation? What resources, tools, models and frameworks do universities have to enable innovation? What else do they need? This will be an interactive session where panel members will stimulate the discussion and delegates will have the opportunity to raise their own issues and ideas. Can these offer improvements in efficiency and save costs within your institution? Examples could be: a VRE as an aid to collaboration and improved research; Identity Management as a way of improving access to resources. These are just some examples of where innovation has improved efficiency and reduced costs.
