Empowering higher education institutions to navigate the digital landscape together
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.
The NDLN 2025 Reports
As part of its work, the NDLN has commissioned a series of horizon-scanning reports by leading scholars and practitioners.
Each report explores emerging trends in digital innovation, leadership, and strategy, offering actionable insights for higher education leaders. Watch the accompanying video series to hear directly from each author as they introduce and discuss their work.
