Do you have a smart idea for using technology in your college or university? If you’re looking for rapid project funding, pitch your idea on a new JISC website and receive feedback from your peers.
The JISC Elevator is a new beta platform for people to pitch ideas for projects up to £10,000 using video and short descriptions.
Once an idea has been submitted to the site, people working and studying in UK higher and further education will be able to vote if they like the idea.
When an idea receives the target number of votes then JISC will decide whether or not to fund the idea.
Andrew McGregor, who is managing the JISC Elevator, said: “JISC’s remit is to fund cutting edge innovation – so we hope that by creating a different platform for bidding we’ll be able to capture the brainwaves of many more people in colleges and universities, perhaps people who haven’t previously bid for JISC funds. The voting mechanisms on the Elevator will also allow us to respond directly to what’s important for people in further and higher education.”
The JISC Elevator is open to all kinds of ideas, with suggestions including:
For details on what kinds of idea we are looking for please see the submission criteria.
Successful projects will be notified in April and expected to complete by the end of July 2012.

Doctoral theses can attract significant attention when made openly accessible in electronic form according to the respondents of a sector-wide survey of information professionals.
The JISC-funded survey gives a clearer picture of progress toward electronic thesis deposit in the UK, and how universities are achieving it.
The respondents to the survey were library and repository staff from 144 higher education institutions – and their responses suggested that 81% of their organisations will be providing open access to doctoral theses in five years time.Neil Jacobs, programme director at JISC, said: “Doctoral theses are important records of research. Many of them are already openly accessible via repositories and the UK EThOS Service, which most UK universities have joined. The resulting high visibility benefits both researchers and universities, and suggests that electronic theses will have a significant role to play in accelerating sharing our knowledge in the future.”
This publication was a joint venture between UKCGE, and UCL Library Services, based on a JISC project by UCL Library ServicesTina Barnes, senior research fellow at the University of Warwick, is one of the authors of the report. She said: “The move to electronic theses is a very positive development that wholly supports the academic principle of sharing knowledge for the common good and for the advancement of science and human development.”
Paul Ayris, director of UCL library services and co-chair of the DART-Europe partnership, said: “DART-Europe provides access to the full-text of over 280,000 Open Access research theses from 403 European universities in 20 countries. Open Access to such a critical mass of blue skies research is good for research and good for the researcher .”
The report shows there are a number of reasons why researchers may not make their theses available electronically, but the principal reason may be the inclusion of sensitive material.
Concerns regarding third-party copyright, plagiarism and restrictions on future publications are having little impact on access so far.
The report also suggests that theses need to be preserved over the long term - something that the British Library service, EThOS, originally a JISC project, aims to do.
