The Academic Trust -
Registered Charity No. 299070
History: The Trust was established in 1987 and registered
that year with the Charities Commission. In 1997 the Trustees reassessed the
original object of supporting a single degree course at RMCS Shrivenham and
concluded that this was too limited. With the agreement of the Charities Commission
the objects were amended to included CIS courses in all three Services and in
other establishments.
The Objects of this Charity are:
"To advance education in defence communications, electronics
and information technology; initially by the support of the degree course in
Command, Control, Communications and Information Systems at the Royal Military
College of Science, Shrivenham and similar courses in such other establishments
as the Trustees may so decide."
