We are delighted to offer this opportunity to participate and sponsor the Asiera Conference 2026. As the inaugural event under the Asiera (Advancing Services for Irish Education, Research and Academia) name, it builds on the long-standing success of the HEAnet Conference, first established in 2001 and widely recognised as Ireland’s leading conference for the education and research sector.
The Asiera Conference 2026 will bring together a wide range of stakeholders including researchers, educators, and decision-makers from across Irish higher education and research. The programme will focus on critical areas shaping the future of the sector, including cybersecurity, digital infrastructure, sustainability, emerging technologies, and innovation in research and education services.
Industry partners play a vital role in the success of the conference. Sponsorship provides organisations with the opportunity to engage directly with leaders across universities, institutes of technology, research bodies, and national education networks. It also offers a platform to showcase new technologies, share expertise, and build meaningful partnerships that support the continued development of Ireland’s research and education ecosystem.
Sponsors will benefit from a range of visibility and engagement opportunities, including exhibition spaces, speaking opportunities, brand visibility across conference materials, and direct networking with attendees from across the sector.
Organisations interested in sponsoring or participating in Asiera Conference 2026 are encouraged to express their interest early, as interest has been highly indicated already.

The Asiera Conference 2026 promises yet again to be an enlightening event for the Education and Research community, continuing a legacy of collaboration while helping to shape the next phase of digital services for Irish education and research.
