Industry Advisory Board

The SISCM Industry Advisory Board (IAB) forms part of the School’s commitment to develop close sustainable relationships with industry. The drivers behind this commitment are to improve the:

Relevance and impact of our research.
Relevance, applicability and strength of our teaching.
Employability of our graduates.

Organisations that participate have access to leading edge research and thinking in IS, computing and mathematics; and to the brightest talent in terms of student placements and graduate recruitment.
