JISC

Close engagement with the community is a feature of JISC's work and informs the quality of its programmes. This engagement happens in various fora and these opportunities are a chance for JISC to communicate the value of the work it funds and to get validation from the community about its future priorities and activities. JISC is an active participant in many of the most important events and meetings in the digital preservation field. These events include:
