Jisc, UCISA and the Crown Representative have been engaging with Microsoft regarding changes to M365 Education portfolio. As result, Microsoft has agreed to delay its global announcement for 30 days.
We are therefore updating the agenda of this briefing to provide an update on the sector’s negotiations, and what sector-led representation with Microsoft will look like over the coming 30 days. Please note, we will continue to be bound by confidentiality, and we will not be able to share details on the changes.
The revised agenda will be as follows:
- Welcome
- Update on the Jisc EES Framework agreement and ongoing negotiations
- Cross-sector representation and engagement forums
- Next steps and staying informed
We recommend that universities, colleges and schools send a representative to attend the briefing. The briefing is open to all education and research institutions. Please note that attendance is limited to institution representatives and is not open to resellers, vendors or other third-party organisations.
A recording of the session will be made available with restricted access
