Background

An Efficiency and Modernisation Task Group was set up by Universities UK in 2010 and led by Professor Sir Ian Diamond. Its report, known as the Diamond review, made a number of recommendations including the establishment of a digital ‘efficiency hub’. Universities UK and Jisc launched Efficiency Exchange in 2013, in partnership with Hefce and the Leadership Foundation who provided funding via the Innovation and Transformation Fund.
