The EARCOS Data Hub
We are excited to introduce EARCOS Data Hub, a new membership service designed to help schools make more informed decisions using reliable, member-based data. Data Hub will provide a secure, interactive platform where member schools can explore survey results, create customized comparisons, track trends over time, and contribute to research on emerging issues that matter to our community.
Our first studies will include a Compensation Survey in November, followed by a Generative AI Adoption in Schools Study in February, in collaboration with AI researcher Leon Furze.
