Dr Malcolm Read has worked for the Higher and Further Education Funding Councils of the UK as the Executive Secretary to JISC since 1993. (JISC is the agency with overall responsibility for IT for universities and research laboratories in the UK.)
Apart from his overall responsibility for the Executive, he has been particularly involved in ICT policy and strategy development in post-16 education and research.
He is also heavily involved in international IT infrastructure activities particularly in Europe and the United States.
He graduated in 1973 with a degree in Environmental Science from the University of East Anglia and went on to do a PhD at the University of Manchester on the hydrometeorology of a glacial catchment. He then worked in the Overseas Development Administration before moving to the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) in 1979. He ran the computer department at the Institute of Hydrology before moving into administrative computing to head the Joint Administrative Computing Service of NERC and the, then, Science and Engineering Research Council in 1988.
