International JISC/NSF programme
• Part of NSF International Digital Libraries Initiative• 6 projects• £500,000 per year for 3 years
Opportunistic! High profile, popular with the paymasters Major benefits in improving communication

Future international? No specific budget, although seeking a small
general international budget• specific ideas would help
Neutral stance: needs to benefit JISC, to justify cost (including establishment)
Earliest spend would be 2001• more likely 2001/2002

Conditions for inter-programme success
Mutual advantage and willingness to share the load Politics and timing: convergence Resources: significantly greater overhead Flexibility: need to adapt hallowed practice to
accommodate Trust

Suggestion Add to new circulars
• “Proposers are invited to suggest optional additional modules to their proposal, to be performed by international partners,and funded by non-[local] funding sources. Viable proposals of this type will be viewed favourably.”
Allows separability of funding decisions but puts the onus on the project’s international partners to organise.
