BCE: Awareness and Education for the Wider JISC Community

Business and Community Engagement (BCE) is a term increasingly being used to describe the relationships between academic institutions and external organisations and individuals. The current and future climate for higher and further education means that external engagement and partnerships with commercial, public sector, cultural, social and civic organisations are going to be increasingly important to the success of both individual institutions and the sector as a whole.

How does this project help?

This project specifically considers how BCE-driven strategies could shape and influence the current and future roles of staff working in internal support and enabling services such as:

  • IT services
  • Library and information management
  • Administration and management
  • Marketing and communications
  • Human resources
  • Procurement and finance

It is part of JISC's Business and Community Engagement programme and being delivered by JISC Advance.
