Leonesa I, 1st Floor (Grand Hyatt Hotel)

Session Type: Meeting

Speaker(s)

Abstract

In July, 2007 EDUCAUSE convened a national meeting of university CIOs to discuss how CI can function. This meeting generated a set of CI national priorities, strategies and tactics for EDUCAUSE and its' members, including focus on support for research, university leadership's role in the strategic planning for a robust CI on campus, and the need for a sustainable CI funding model. (see http://connect.educause.edu/library/abstract/AReportontheEDUCAUSE/44952)

In additional to the national level, there are both middle layer campus and individual level components of CI. The Net@EDU Campus Cyberinfrastructure (CCI) working group is focusing on strengthening this middle layer in the nation's cyberinfrastructure framework. Meeting participants will help answer vital questions pertaining to campus CI components, including:

- Where does one identify and support this common core middle level of CI that needs to exist to interface with the national layer and individual PI independent of local campus cultures or specific disciplines?
- How can we create a palate of different tactics that can be adopted to particular campus and support our agreed-upon national priorities?
- How can campuses, working through EDUCAUSE, work together to implement these strategies? Come prepared to work as you learn more about the CCI's current projects and how you can become more engaged with this effort.

Lunch will be served in the Grand Hyatt meeting room.
