ICT Innovation Fund
Innovation is critical to a successful university and ICT innovation is a critical component. The stimulus can arise in any academic or administrative unit but the resulting cost can be an inhibitor to development. The ICT Innovation Fund was established under the control of the Chief Information Officer (CIO) to facilitate technological innovation in a coordinated way and establish a source of matching funds to help the originating unit with the cost.
