Notes from the Future: the TechWatch blog is launched

24 November 2008

Jisc TechWatch, one of the four Jisc Innovation Support Centres, has just launched its own blog. It is called Notes from the Future, to reflect TechWatch's horizon scanning remit. Rather than just being an online diary, it will feature updates on their published reports and some specially commissioned content.

Gaynor Backhouse, who runs TechWatch, says: 'We're going to be featuring some guest bloggers so that we can incorporate a variety of different perspectives. So far we've lined up Bill Olivier, Jisc's Development Director for Systems and Technology, and John Connell, Technology Strategist for Cisco.'

But that is not all. Tomorrow marks the beginning of the ICT 2008 conference in Lyon, where technology research projects funded by the EU will gather to show off their achievements. TechWatch will be there to cover it and will be blogging the 'best of breed' technologies and latest policy news.
