The document discusses a meeting about Business and Community Engagement (BCE) hosted by JISC Advance. The agenda includes welcome/introductions, presentations on how JISC Advance currently supports BCE and how BCE may become "business as usual" for academic institutions. A parallel session will focus on advisory services and key questions for Regional Support Centres. The goal is to recognize how current work supports BCE and demonstrate the impact of services on partner communities. For BCE to become routine, institutions must embed engagement processes throughout and provide practitioners with necessary skills/support to seamlessly integrate new activities.

We may be supporting BCE through much of our regular
work within our communities.
A key goal for us is to recognise when and how we are
supporting the BCE agenda – and be able to
demonstrate the impact our services and advice are
having in the communities who fund us.
As BCE becomes "business as usual" for them so it will
start to appear as "business as usual" for us.
