Data Matters is aimed at data professionals, higher education practitioners and professional services staff working in areas such as strategic planning, academia, student experience, careers and quality.
It is also a CPD accredited event, which means you can add the learning time towards your individual continuing professional development goals. There will also be lots of opportunities to network online and make valuable connections with your community.
We at Jisc are hosting this event in partnership with HESA and QAA, gathering the know-how of the UK’s higher education data, quality and digital experts.
