About Us

We have around 60 full and part-time staff who bring a mix of technical and 'social' knowledge, professionalism and creativity, to delivering four national services and the 30 or so projects we have in hand at any one time.

Over the past ten years we have built up considerable expertise in web standards and technologies, turning abstract technical developments into practical tools and applications. We also have a strong track record in project management, training and consultancy.

Our work spans developments within the University and externally, allowing skills and knowledge to flow between and benefit both. We provide technical development, evaluation and web design services for University projects and external clients, mainly in the public, voluntary and education sectors.

Partnerships

We also partner regularly with academic and support colleagues in a range of forward-looking projects, funded by the JISC and Research Councils, to explore web and other technologies and their application for research and future learning and management processes.

Investors in People

The ILRT was the first University department to achieve the Investors in People standard in 1999 and people development continues to be an important part of how we work, with an emphasis on team work and knowledge sharing.
