This document summarizes a presentation given by Paola Marchionni on maintaining relationships with projects after their completion of JISC funding. It outlines the roles of JISC in supporting projects through advising, workshops, and resources. It also details the expectations for projects, including required documentation and acknowledging JISC. Maintaining communication through blogs, meetings and other avenues is important for both parties post-project.
