Never before has research been so central in guiding the direction of people’s lives and the UK research and innovation sector is increasingly agile and collaborative in responding. Within an existing context of evolving policy and funding changes, COVID-19 has placed unprecedented new demands on the sector, which correspondingly need creative approaches and new lenses to guide its collective response.

Jisc's role in extending the deployment and reach of technologies, data and digital approaches is central to supporting the UK research and innovation sector to remain resilient, sustainable, inclusive and collaborative, and to continue to develop excellent research.

This strategy document sets out Jisc's strategic approach to supporting the sector over the next two years.
