Posted by Brian Kelly (UK Web Focus) on 8 January 2009
UKOLN received a pleasing Christmas present recently, in the form of the JISC announcement of a significant increase in our funding. As described in the press release “This increase is both a mark of confidence in the work of UKOLN but also a recognition of the increasing importance of investment in a national e-infrastructure to support the UK’s global competitiveness in science, research and innovation“.
Sarah Porter, Head of Innovation, JISC commented that “UKOLN has been central to the development of JISC digital information programmes and services; it gives me great pleasure to announce this investment that will help support the sector to respond to emerging requirements for research and learning and the opportunities that new technologies offer“.
Now that’s a great start to the New Year :-) And I should acknowledge the contributions made by my colleagues at UKOLN.

Congrats to you all. Can’t help but think your “Related Posts” plugin is being a bit gloaty. “Who is Suffering in the Economic Downturn?” Indeed! :)
