Major Initiatives

These EDUCAUSE programs help you navigate the challenges involved in advancing higher education with IT through applied research, data benchmarking, and programs addressing advanced networking, policy, security, and teaching and learning. Three of these initiatives—the EDUCAUSE Center for Applied Research, the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative, and Net@EDU—are fee-based programs offering member or subscriber-only products and services, although many of their resources are publicly available.
