[okfn-coord] Fwd: Circular 2/09: Revised Announcement

[Jonathan Gray]

Just for the record - we need to decide at some point whether we want
to go in for any of these JISC calls.

In order to enter, we need institutional HE/FE partners.

There are a variety of ways we could do this (with different partners
+ different projects).

I suggest that this is something we could or should discuss at the AGM
after OKCon or shortly afterwards.

Best,

J.

Eligibility to Bid: the call has been updated to clarify that

more than 400 FTEs are also eligible to bid provided proposals
demonstrate work that supports the HE in FE agenda. HE and FE
institutions in Northern Ireland and Scotland and FE institutions in
Wales are not eligible to bid but may be involved as partners in
proposals led by HE institutions funded by HEFCE or HEFCW or FE
institutions in England which meet the criteria outlined above.

Apologies for any confusion.
