Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science Simon Harris TD welcomed the third in a series of dialogue meetings between senior Department officials and institutional leaders aimed at driving stronger regional collaboration on some of the major challenges facing the country at UCC on 26 June.
The Southern regional dialogue meeting saw the Department engaging with institutional leaders representing Limerick & Clare ETB, Tipperary ETB, Cork ETB, Kerry ETB, Technological University of the Shannon, Mary Immaculate College, UL, UCC, Munster Technological University and SFI research centres LERO, SSPC, Vista Milk, Insight, APC, MaREI and Ipic. Representatives of SOLAS, SFI and the National Tertiary Office were also in attendance.
The Regional Dialogue Initiative was set up by the Department in response to inputs from the sector highlighting how a unified tertiary sector in regions can contribute to achieving both Department and wider government policy priorities.
The six dialogue meetings taking place in regions around the country over the recent and coming weeks are exploring synergies between further education and training, higher education and research, and bring together the leadership and expertise necessary to support the delivery of Department’s policy objectives, aligned with key Government strategies including regional rebalancing, housing, health, climate change, and enterprise development.
UCC is very pleased to host this important event which places a spotlight on the long standing, deep and far-reaching relationships which we share and deeply value and most importantly on the students whose education and research pathways have been enabled as a result of our collaborations.
