JISC is worth every penny that they get! That's the message that i get from a report that was published yesterday.
Or in their own words: "For every £1 spent on the JISC services budget, the UK education and research community receives £9 of demonstrable value. This is one of the findings of a newly-published value for money report commissioned by JISC to uncover some of the ‘hidden’ value of its activities in support of education and research."
I am quite sure that SURF has the same value within The Netherlands. Think, for example, about the licensing agreements that give us access to software at much lower cost than the market price. On the other hand: what if we would exclusively use opensource software within Higher Ed? Well, think about it!
Read all about it.
