Jisc support for Research Managers during the Coronavirus pandemic

Our friends at Jisc are hoping to get feedback from the ARMA community so that they can make sure their support during  the pandemic for researchers and research managers is tailored to your needs.

To help, we would like you to complete the following survey:

They will also use this feedback to crowd-source a blog on research support (any contributions used will be anonymous) to share with both ARMA and Jisc members.
