Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences and Globalization

The e-Framework for Education and Research is an initiative created by public funding bodies in Europe and Australasia. It coordinates information relating how educational institutions across the globe are using technology to support their strategic priorities and how this can be supported by a service-oriented approach to technologies based on open standards. The session will give an overview of the e-Framework and raise some points for discussion.

In July 2007 EDUCAUSE Vice President Richard Katz and University of British Columbia CIO Ted Dodds set aside their North American, feline, and canine differences in pursuit of worldly knowledge. Richard and Ted will share insights from nearly four months in Europe, drawing from case studies, surveys, meetings with remarkable people—and their increasingly open minds.
