Workshop: From Theory to Practice: Architecting the Modern University with the Higher Education Reference Models (HERM)

Mar 30 2026, 00:30 - 10:00 (Melbourne/Sydney time)

Universities today are navigating a complex intersection of pressures: the demand for a seamless digital student experience, the stringent compliance requirements of tier-one research, and the urgent financial mandate to rationalize sprawling "Shadow IT" portfolios. While frameworks exist to map these challenges, translating that theory into actionable strategy is often where initiatives stall.

This interactive workshop will put the CAUDIT Higher Education Reference Models (HERM) directly into participants hands to apply them to untangle real-world higher education challenges.

Designed for all types IT professionals, this session provides a collaborative environment to practice using the HERM artefacts in small groups, supported by working group and EA CoP members.
