Rapid innovation projects organised by role
The JISC rapid innovation projects were designed to be focused on the needs of end users in institutions and to produce tools that met the needs of those users. This page sorts the projects according to which institutional role they were focusing on. Some projects were relevant to more than one role and so appear more than once in this list.
The links in this list point towards the project's websites. For links to the JISC website for each project see the bottom of JISC rapid innovation page
