Expert Panel
During the consultation phase of the Information Futures Commission, an Expert Panel of academics, professional staff and student representatives will meet regularly to contribute ideas and guidance, and a series of discussion papers will stimulate conversation on specific topics.
The Expert Panel will be critical friends and contributors to the work of the Commission by:
- supplying ideas, expert advice and an understanding of the University to the work of the Commission;
- actively contributing to the writing of the Consultation Paper, Discussion Papers and final Strategy documents.
