User Group

The GeM User Group has been established in order to share good practice amongst the user community, consider and influence the future development of GeM and identify user requirements in light of any operational needs. 

The GeM User Group exists in order to represent the user’s strategic, technical and operational interests in respect of the GeM suite of products. The group also shares good practice amongst the user community, considers and influences future development of GeM, including new product development.

The group is yet to elect a chair person and in the interim John West from JISC Procureweb is chairing the group.  JISC Procureweb acts as the secretariat for the meetings.
