Who We Are

HEAnet and EduCampus have been supporting Ireland’s academic and research community since 1983.

We are now proud to come together as one unified organisation. Our new name Asiera (pronounced a-seer-a) captures what drives us every day – Advancing Services for Irish Education, Research and Academia.

Together, we will form a single, stronger organisation dedicated to delivering ICT shared services that empower Ireland’s education and research sector at every level.

As a leading provider of high-speed internet connectivity and ICT shared services for the education and research community in Ireland, our new organisation delivers a robust digital infrastructure that underpins the teaching, learning, research, and administrative functions of schools, colleges, and universities across the country. With this merger, we are combining our expertise and resources to ensure every learner, educator, and researcher has seamless access to world-class technologies and services.

Every day, our national education and research network supports more than 1.3 million students and researchers and over 175,000 staff across Ireland’s schools, ETBs, and higher education institutions – more than 1.5 million people in total. In addition, we provide mission-critical management information systems to over 140,000 students and 20,000 staff across Ireland’s universities, technological universities, institutes of technology, and colleges.

This merger, with a target completion date for 31 December 2025, marks a new chapter in our shared journey. By uniting the strengths of HEAnet and EduCampus, we are building an end-to-end digital ecosystem for Irish education, one that connects, enables, and empowers learners and institutions to thrive in an increasingly digital world.
