Jisc infoNet is a Jisc Advance service supporting the strategic planning and deployment of technology within the UK Higher Education (HE) and Further Education (FE) sectors. The service is hosted by Northumbria University and is based in Newcastle upon Tyne.
Jisc infoNet was launched as a JISC Advisory Service in January 2003, building on the roots of a HEFCE Good Management Practice project called BISinfoNet. In 2009, Jisc infoNet joined other Jisc Advisory Services and Regional Support Centres in the new not-for-profit company Jisc Advance (the trading name of JISC Services Management Company).
