Public affairs
We provide insight into national policy and advocate for the tertiary education sector’s needs.
Collaborating and advocating
We lead on engagement with policymakers, sector partners and government, fostering the collaborative relationships to support the FE, HE and research sectors and their needs. Through input into national policy, we advocate for where digital can make a real difference.
Working for you
By building influential relationships with ministers, MPs and civil servants, we engage in policy debate about the future of HE, FE and research. We help Jisc experts to collaborate with major stakeholders on key issues, from data poverty to the reform of the FE sector. We can connect you with experts, provide briefings and introduce individuals across the sector for collaboration.
