I’m not sure whether everyone is aware of the JISC funding roadmap. It’s the best way of getting the maximum possible notice of forthcoming JISC (and joint) funding opportunities. If you’d read this page this morning, you’d have spotted the following. (As with everything on the funding roadmap, this is subject to confirmation, change and […]
