JISC

The judges for the Times Higher Education leadership and management awards have announced their shortlist.

The awards aim to recognise the exceptional business and management skills of those running universities and JISC is sponsoring the category for outstanding ICT initiative.

The judges have chosen technology initiatives at six different universities that have had a great impact on their university’s administrative processes.

As the awards showcase the leadership, management, financial and business skills in universities, the judges were looking for projects with potential for that positive effect to be felt across the sector.

The shortlisted universities

• Canterbury Christ Church University
• Edge Hill University
• University of Leeds
• Northumbria University
• The Open University
• Queen Margaret University

The winner will be announced at the awards ceremony to be held at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London on 17 June 2010.
