The 2020/21 Technology Initiatives round is now open.
The Technology Initiatives (TI) portfolio consists of major IT-related projects that receive significant annual funding and support from the university executive.
The Technology Governance Committee (TGC) would like to invite staff to submit suggestions for new initiatives to be funded in 2020/21.
TI projects innovate, improve process and support compliance across many areas of the university, including Research, Learning & Teaching, and our core administration activities.
The TI portfolio has been the vehicle for some of the most significant new system implementations and process improvements delivered at Charles Sturt.

The majority of these projects were born from initiatives submitted by university staff. This represents one of the strengths of the process. It provides the opportunity to harness ideas from the university community.
Submit your initiative
If you intend to submit an initiative please register your interest by contacting John Smith – Associate Director, IT Project Portfolio – as soon possible, and before Friday 3 July 2020.
