IT Engagement in Research:
Results of the 2006 ECAR Study
Richard N. Katz
Vice President
EDUCAUSE
In 2005 and 2006, the EDUCAUSE Center for Applied Research (ECAR) conducted an extensive and multifaceted study of the engagement of IT in research in higher education. In particular, ECAR studied the state of high performance computing, fast networking, and the management and storage of research data. To a lesser extent, ECAR studied e-collaboration. The session will review key findings from this research as well as from collateral research on "what researchers want [from IT]."
