Welcome to the e-Framework for Education and Research
The e-Framework for Education and Research is an international initiative that provides information to institutions on investing in and using information technology infrastructure. It advocates service-oriented approaches to facilitate technical interoperability of core infrastructure as well as effective use of available funding.
It's an evolving knowledge base
This website is an evolving knowledge base, built on contributions from members of the e-Framework community. The e-Framework maintains the content to assist other international education and research communities in planning, prioritising and implementing their IT infrastructure in a better way.
