About TechWatch

Technology and Standards Watch was launched in 2000 as an activity overseen by the JISC JCIEL subcommittee. Following the restructuring of JISC sub-committees and their responsibilities in 2002, it became part of the JISC Innovation Group programme. In 2008, TechWatch became one of JISC's 4 Innovation Support Centres alongside CETIS OSS Watch and UKOLN

TechWatch is managed, on behalf of JISC, by Intelligent Content Ltd
