HERO

Epic was commissioned by the Higher Education and Research Opportunities (HERO) to develop a £1.5m portal site, which acts as the gateway to a comprehensive range of UK higher education and research facilities on the Internet.

The partners involved in the project include:

• the higher education funding bodies for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
• the Committee of Vice-Chancellors and Principals.
• the Standing Conference of Principals.
• the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service.
• the Careers Services Unit.
• the Research Councils.

Underpinning the entire site is a range of generic and customised search tools. In addition, it acts as an international showcase for the diversity and quality of UK higher education and research. Epic provided full branding, marketing and ongoing editorial for HERO as well as initial site development.

The site is managed using Epic's Context CMS.
