A partnership of national organizations involved in distributed computing and networking (cyberinfrastructure, or CI) runs the “CI Days” activity for college and university campuses, to assist in CI planning for higher education.

EVL associate director Maxine Brown is the National Science Foundation's International Research Network Connections (IRNC) program representative participating in this activity. CIDays.org brings together players from the campus, region and nation to share information and plan how to provide CI for the campus. As they learn more about the campus needs, the national and regional groups in turn are in a better position to help direct the evolution of their CI services to meet these needs.
