Web forum  >  Web co-ordinators fora


The web co-ordinators, representing Schools, research units and administrative departments, meet occasionally to discuss topical issues in web publishing at the University. There may be new developments that the web team want to share and get feedback on, there may be issues that have arisen in strategy discussions (at Web Strategy Board which has replace Web Steering Group) that that have been referred to web co-ordinators for comment, or issues can be raised by the web co-ordinators for discussion among peers and with the ears of the central web team available too. Web Strategy Board minutes are available from the SGIS groups page.

Here are the invitations, programmes and summary notes, as available, from previous and upcoming face-to-face forums. If you would like to raise an issue for address, please do so in the discussion area.
