About
EDUCAUSE is a nonprofit association that focuses on the strategic use of information technology in higher education, bringing together IT leaders, academic technologists, researchers, and vendors. It offers research, professional learning, and networking opportunities that cover topics such as cyberinfrastructure, cloud services, analytics, AI, cybersecurity, student success technologies, and digital transformation. Flagship resources include the EDUCAUSE Top IT Issues reports, Horizon Reports, toolkits, benchmarking data, and case studies that help institutions plan and assess technology initiatives.
For institutions planning or evolving research computing and cyberinfrastructure, EDUCAUSE materials can inform governance structures, funding models, risk management, and the integration of advanced computing with teaching and research. Webinars, conferences, and communities of practice allow staff and faculty to stay current on trends like AI in teaching and research, data governance, and secure infrastructure design. EDUCAUSE also provides guidance on leadership development and change management, which can be helpful when building campus-wide support for HPC, data platforms, and related services.
