JISC/CNI Meeting 2010
The UK Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) and US Coalition for Networked Information (CNI), recently held their 8th international meeting to discuss Managing data in difficult times: policies, strategies, technologies and infrastructure to manage research and teaching data in a fast changing technological and economic environment. The event brought together experts from both sides of the Atlantic to explore and contrast developments affecting senior management in information systems in the education community and those responsible for delivering digital services and resources for learning, teaching and research.
TConsult was delighted to send our Creative Director, Kirsty Pitkin, to record the event. She produced detailed session summaries for the event blog and conducted video interviews with the speakers to identify the key issues and questions. The conference was split into parallel sessions, so these resources have been extremely valuable to delegates who wish to find out more about the parallel sessions they could not attend, and to those in the wider community who were unable to be in Edinburgh for the event.
It was a fascinating meeting, covering topics ranging from cloud computing through resource discovery and digital preservation to e-Science and open data policies.
