Jisc reveals innovative new approaches to digital transformation at CPD-accredited Networkshop 2023 

Jisc, the UK’s digital, data and technology agency, will be showcasing the vital role of the Janet Network in transforming education and research at Networkshop 2023 from 14-16 June, 2023.

In a programme packed with new ideas, the event will see experts from Jisc – alongside customers, technology partners and sector bodies – demonstrate how organisations can leverage the latest technologies to support digital transformation. 

Over three days of panel discussions, presentations, workshops, immersive sessions and online content, the event will explore the impact of next generation networking on the future of not only education and research but other sectors as well. 

Steve Masters, chief technology officer at Jisc, says:   

“This promises to be the most exciting Networkshop event yet, full of exciting demonstrations of new technologies and a real sense of progress in how we are applying them for the benefit of the wider community. 

“Networkshop 2023 will be useful to anyone who needs to understand the impact that these technologies can have on improving the learning environment, and how best to leverage them. That includes the public sector, local government, the NHS, independent schools and charities as well as tertiary education and research.

“There’s a lot happening at the moment across the sector, and at Networkshop 2023 we’ll be sharing the innovation work that’s going on to support our members through these changes. I’m really looking forward to bringing people together to discuss challenges and explore solutions that leverage technology as a force for good.Net”   

The Networkshop 2023 programme includes topics such as: 

• Jisc’s strategy and what’s to come, including projects that promise to transform teaching and learning across the campus and beyond
• Key developments and innovations that are enabling Jisc to layer new services such as 5G, cyber-security and edge compute into the core of the Janet Network
• Addressing digital poverty and enhancing student experience by improving access to digital resources beyond traditional campus-centric locations
• Putting secure digital infrastructure at the heart of institutional strategy to deliver world-class education and research
• A focus on research, including discussions on a federated UK digital research infrastructure and recommendations for a roadmap to net zero
• The challenges of sustainability, how to measure infrastructure carbon footprint, and a new way to make campus buildings healthier for users

In recognition of the event’s learning value, the CPD Certification Service has confirmed that attendance at Networkshop2023 counts towards CPD programmes.
