The CAUDIT Communities of Practice are open to all IT, eResearch and library staff at CAUDIT member organisations who want to ask questions, share information and experiences with their peers on a particular aspect of information or communications technology.

Communities of practice are self-governing. Their activities range from ad-hoc information sharing and networking, to coordinated efforts to solve common problems.

They are vibrant dynamic forums that encourage sector wide knowledge sharing. This page lists all community events being held throughout 2026.

Collaborative innovation and problem-solving are hallmarks of CAUDIT’s Communities of Practice (CoPs). Because CoP agendas centre on Members' priorities, they enable sector-wide exploration of, and response to, unexpected change and long-term challenges. CoP Members benefit from interactive forums and enduring professional networks, both of which are avenues for formal and informal professional development. 

CAUDIT Communities of Practice currently have over 3000 members.
