JISC training

JISC has funded 14 Workshops and Seminars exploring some of the achievements and challenges in Digitisation and e-Content. Covering a wide range of challenging and cutting-edge developments within digitisation these workshops address questions as diverse as visualising climate change data to digital performance, and issues around robot digitisation technology to Geographical Information Systems in history and heritage.

Here is a list of the Workshops, and where available, links to further information:
