Three of the UK's leading higher education agencies - the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), Jisc and the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) - have announced plans to explore increased collaboration and cost sharing through a new partnership to be known as the 'M5 Group'.
The three agencies have a long history of collaborating on projects, in particular with HESA and Jisc delivering a national business intelligence service. The agencies intend to work even more closely together to develop better solutions to some of the long-term issues that are being faced by the UK higher education sector.
It is expected that the tri-partite approach will provide a greater pool of resources aiming to improve services.
Further details on how the M5 Group will be supporting the higher education sector will be made available in the coming weeks.
