What are the likely impacts of the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill?
The UK government’s Cyber Security and Resilience (Network and Information Systems) Bill (CSRB) aims to make the UK a secure and trusted environment for businesses and public services.
For the first time, a broader range of essential services and sectors will fall under regulatory oversight. What does this mean for the Higher Education sector?
In this session, we will unpack the proposed regulations, their impact on institutions, and outline areas on which to focus in preparing for these changes, helping you improve resilience.

Digital assumptions vs global realities: Insights from Jisc’s transnational education (TNE) research
In 2025, we conducted the only UK sector-wide research into the lived digital experiences of transnational education (TNE) students and staff, hearing from 4,802 students and 471 staff across 51 TNE instances in more than 30 countries. The findings reveal four critical challenges - connectivity, access to resources, cultural differences in use of educational technology, and digital skills - that can make or break global learning delivery.
This session will unpack data on global differences in connectivity, learning modes, and GenAI adoption, alongside staff perspectives from fly-in, remote, and host-country roles. Plus, get an exclusive preview of our Spring 2026 TNE digital checklist, a practical tool translating research into actionable steps for setting up new operations and strengthening existing partnerships, overseas campuses, and online programmes.
