About

The Leadership Foundation and JISC are committed to stimulating awareness amongst senior higher education leaders and to integrate technology with institutional strategy.

There are three key objectives of this collaboration:

  1. understand current awareness, practice and issues relating to leadership and the integration of technology into institutional strategies within UK higher education
  2. create the conditions in which higher education leaders (particularly at senior levels) are motivated to engage more with the strategic technology agenda within their own institutions and across the higher education sector
  3. create ways of encouraging and developing this motivation and a desire amongst education leaders to engage and learn more about strategic technology issues.

The collaboration between Leadership Foundation and JISC was informed by a study commissioned in May 2008 to ‘identify issues and development needs relating to awareness and current practice of, and the potential for, the integration of technology into institutional strategies’. This study was further informed by a conference sponsored by Leadership Foundation and the University of Cardiff, ‘Building the University of the Future: People and IT in Partnership’, Monday 24th November – Tuesday 25th November 2008.

JISC and the Open University are pleased to announce their co-sponsorship of the Higher Education Leadership Summit 2010 hosted by the Leadership Foundation, Thursday 11 February 2010, London. Further details about the conference can also be found on the Leadership Foundation website.
