JISC

As we look ahead to a tough financial year in 2011-12, JISC's annual conference in Liverpool is now open for registration with a packed programme on the theme of 'financial challenges, digital opportunities’.

The conference on Monday 14 and Tuesday 15 March 2011 will focus on how digital technologies can bring cost and efficiency savings to universities and colleges.

Vice chancellor of the University of Bristol, Professor Eric Thomas, will be delivering the opening keynote speech ahead of his appointment as president of UUK in August.

Delegates can participate in a new preview afternoon of mini interactive workshops to get even more from the experience.

Professor Thomas' keynote will be followed by sessions combining strategic guidance on areas like digital literacy and shared services with more hands-on advice on topics like improving research management and student assessment.

There will be networking opportunities throughout the day and delegates can visit exhibition stands to find out how to make the most of JISC's own services and other organisations back in their home institution.Event tag - jisc11
