The Haagenson Fund targets cutting-edge digital technologies that undergird significant engagement with innovation in research, teaching and learning. The Haagenson Fund supports investment in technological infrastructure innovation that is: (a) likely to make a significant impact on the quality of teaching and learning and/or research outcomes and (b) requires access to software, hardware, online applications and related services, and other state-of-the-art developments in networked digital media.

A second round of Haagenson Fund applications will run in Fall 2016.
