About the NDLN
The National Digital Leadership Network (NDLN) is a sector-driven initiative dedicated to strengthening Ireland’s digital Higher Education landscape.
We bring together experts, leaders, and practitioners from across the sector to collaborate on the challenges and opportunities that come with an ever-evolving digital world.
We are committed to promoting existing expertise while actively creating new resources—such as horizon-scanning reports, best practice guidelines, policy briefs, and case studies—that support meaningful digital transformation in teaching, research, and administration.
