Webinar outlines how to purchase Jisc-negotiated software licences via Chest

Our webinar will show how the Chest platform helps members easily access licences with better discounts, terms and access conditions.

We are hosting an interactive webinar, “How to use Chest to access the right software solutions” on Thursday, 17 October 2024 at 1pm. The webinar will show how to access Jisc-negotiated software licences with preferential pricing and licensing terms for further and higher education, and research organisations.

The platform provides access to a variety of Jisc-negotiated software licences including cyber security solutions, as well as tools to help with teaching and assessment, and research management.

In addition to showing attendees how to use the platform, the webinar will outline how licences are negotiated on behalf of the sector by Jisc’s dedicated licensing team. Attendees will also find out how they can engage with the negotiation process to influence future agreements.

Caren Milloy, our director of licensing, said the webinar will help education and research organisations make the most of the savings and other benefits offered via the Chest platform:

“We’re very pleased to have this opportunity to share how we negotiate with software providers to get great deals for Jisc members on vital products, and to show them how they can access those deals through the platform.

“The webinar is a great opportunity to find out more, to get involved in how we work with the sector and to identify important agreements to secure in the future.”

The webinar, “How to use Chest to access the right software solutions”, will be held on Thursday, 17 October 2024 at 1pm.
