Our CEO Heath Marks and Head of Projects and Managed Services, John Scullen, attended the Council of Australasian University Directors of Information Technology (CAUDIT) Members Meeting, held in Adelaide, from October 13-16, 2024.
Heath Marks and John Scullen shared updates from AAF, including key highlights from our recent Annual Report, insights on the most popular services in the Federation, our trust and identity incubators – building upon our official recognition in 2023 as the national capability delivering trust and identity services for the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS), and the growing adoption of RapidIdP and ORCID across the sector.
The biannual CAUDIT Members' Meeting serves as a platform for member organisations to engage in discussion about industry trends, collaborate on common challenges, and explore opportunities in the research and higher education sector. We look forward to continuing to collaborate with fellow members to ensure researchers, students and educators are able to seamlessly access digital resources.
