Continuing to build on our HEAnet and EduCampus legacy through Asiera
We’re delighted to announce our new name and brand, Asiera, which is the merging of HEAnet and EduCampus. Every day we are making more progress in bringing our new brand to life and we look forward to sharing more exciting updates soon!
Asiera stands for Advancing Services for Irish Education, Research and Academia – a name that reflects our shared ambition to connect, enable and empower Ireland’s education and research community.
The merger, which was completed on the 31st of 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.
Who we are
As Asiera, we 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, we deliver a robust digital infrastructure that underpins the teaching, learning, research, and administrative functions of schools, colleges, and universities across the country. We have combined 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 business critical management information systems to over 140,000 students and 20,000 staff across Ireland’s universities, technological universities, institutes of technology, and colleges.
Asiera Launch at the final HEAnet 2025 Conference
One of the most notable moments of the HEAnet Conference 2025 was the Asiera launch announcement by Asiera CEO, Ronan Byrne.
It was an honour to share our new name and brand with our sponsors, exhibitors and attendees who have played an important part of our HEAnet and EduCampus history and we look forward to building on that history with the first Asiera 2026 Conference in November 2026.
