International Organizations

EDUCAUSE actively engages with U.S. and international colleges and universities, corporations, foundations, government, and other nonprofit associations to further the mission of transforming higher education through the use of information technology. While we are an association predominantly based in the United States, we recognize that "uncommon thinking for the common good" can emerge anywhere in the world. Our strategic direction is to serve as a leader for the profession, convening the community on significant technology issues facing member institutions and higher education overall.

EDUCAUSE is proud to count over 260 non-U.S. institutions and 30 associations and corporations based outside the United States among its members. We are equally proud that their participation extends to the leadership of the EDUCAUSE community, including representation on the EDUCAUSE Board of Directors.

The breadth of professionals represented, our shared mission, and our collaborative spirit reflect our strong commitment to advancing the mission of higher education and growing the IT profession. As an international member of EDUCAUSE, your organization will be able stay abreast of what's happening in higher education IT in the U.S. and be able to connect and collaborate with over 2,300 member organizations.
