Research groups, campus departments, and academic institutions have unique needs when it comes to email. Unfortunately, most email tools are designed with a different set of use cases in mind.
Your team needs a tool that doesn't focus on marketing or conversion, but instead on privacy, security, and collaboration. Buttondown is designed with that in mind: it's never been easier to confidently and safely communicate with your team.
What makes Buttondown great for academia
- Teams and collaborators — Let graduate students draft emails while faculty approve them, or give department admins access without sharing passwords.
- Surveys — Collect feedback on seminars, gather RSVPs for events, or poll your department on scheduling.
- Archives — Give new students and faculty a searchable history of past announcements and updates.
- Privacy-first analytics — Track engagement without the surveillance. Or turn tracking off entirely — your choice.
If you're running a conference or symposium, Buttondown handles that too. And for research groups with open source projects, we offer additional discounts.
(P.S. — Buttondown is half off for academic institutions.)
