Implementing the tri-agency research data management policy
This in-person workshop aims to facilitate inter-institutional collaboration on RDM programs by selecting cohorts, teams from Canadian post-secondary institutions comprised of up to three individuals from each: a research administrator, an IT professional, and a librarian, who can articulate both their RDM strategies, as well as the challenges and successes that they have encountered on each of their campuses.

Cybersecurity Benchmarking SERVICE
CUCCIO has developed a national benchmarking and measurement program to collect and report on data and information related to IT in higher education across Canada.
IT security leadership development program.
CUCCIO’s IT security leadership development program (ISLDP) is how institutions mentor their next IT security leaders. From September to June this cohort of security managers from member institutions across Canada will meet regularly to learn from current and former higher education IT executives from across Canada. The over 24 hours of online class-time, two or three in-person intensives, real-world case studies, and mentoring provide an extremely rich opportunity for education to all participants.
CANHEIT 2023
Working in partnership with host universities, CUCCIO oversees the annual CANHEIT conference for Canada’s IT professionals in higher education. As the only conference for IT professionals in higher education, CANHEIT attracts more than 350 participants per year.
