UCISA / UKOLN / CETIS Workshop
Discussion Groups

This page provides gives details of the discussion groups at the workshop on Initiatives & Innovation: Managing Disruptive Technologies which is being organised by the UCISA WLF CETIS and UKOLN.

About The Discussion Groups

The morning discussion groups will take place from 11:30-12:10, with a report back from 12:10-12:30. The discussion groups follow the introductory talk and the case study.

Delegates have been allocated a discussion group (red, blue, yellow or green). The groups have been allocated a discussion topic. Please ensure that you attend the group you have been assigned and that your group sticks to the topic. However if delegates have a strong interest in a topic they have not been allocated, it may be possible to allow a small number of changes.

Note that there will be report backs of the main conclusions from the discussion groups and we will encourage the groups to document their discussions.
