Current Research Initiatives
EAB partners have the opportunity to take part in our ongoing research by connecting one-on-one with experts for research interviews, serving as best-practice case studies, and more. We invite you to participate (or nominate someone on your campus to participate) in our current research initiatives:
-
Modern Anchor Institute
-
This research will define what it takes to be a true anchor institution today with the goal of helping university leadership teams successfully drive economic impact, advance social mobility, and reclaim the public good mantle.
-
Provosts/VP Education, VP Innovation and/or VP Partnerships, please reach out to your strategic leader to set up and interview
-
-
Organisational Transformation Case Studies
-
This research will delve into case studies of institutions that have achieved administrative transformations, whether through restructuring a single office or the entire administrative apparatus. In an environment where institutions must begin doing “less with less,” this research will provide leaders with examples of what this leaner future could look like.
