A new materials testing facility is helping scientists carry out research on the earth’s internal structure for use in petroleum drilling projects

For today’s students, technology is omnipresent. They’re able to conduct many aspects of their personal lives through their mobile phone or laptop, however, this often isn’t reflected in their university experiences.

With the typical university environment made up predominately of fee-paying students and a significantly smaller percentage of full-time employees, higher education institutions now have to consider this group as their customers and understand how they can best serve them.

Accelerating the Development of Open Standards: The Journey to Interoperability with University Hospital Southampton

Higher education institutions are often the gate keepers of huge volumes of data, ranging from student and staff data, to research data. Unfortunately, managing, accessing, sharing, and protecting this vast amount of data, and connecting the multiple siloed systems in which it is stored, presents a significant IT challenge.

As my previous blog highlighted, universities and colleges are facing significant cyber security challenges, in part due to the sheer volumes of personal data they process. Consequently, it’s vital they implement the stringent processes and policies needed to ensure they handle data securely and in compliance with GDPR.
