Universities and colleges in England stand to benefit from a new programme of services and investment, which delivers efficiencies through shared services in cloud (core virtual server) computing infrastructure and applications.

Part of a suite of activities under the University Modernisation Fund (UMF), the £12.5 million programme will be managed by JISC, a board that supports colleges and universities in the innovative use of digital technologies.

The 2010 UCISA Higher Education Award for Excellence, sponsored by Eduserv, has been won by the University of Oxford. The award seeks to recognise and highlight levels of excellence and best practice that currently exist and are demonstrated by UCISA members within the UK higher and further education sectors.
