Trinity College Dublin Launch €600m Strategic Plan
Trinity College Dublin has launched a new five-year strategic plan, which aims to deliver for Ireland as a global leader in education, research, innovation, and that will enable job creation.
The plan will cost €600 million and will be funded in large part from non-exchequer funding.
The Strategic Plan 2014-19 will include three new major capital projects Trinity Business School, E3 – Engineering, Energy and Environment Institute, and the Cancer Institute at St James's Hospital, that will drive excellence in research for the benefit of society.
A €70 million Trinity School of Business, co-located with an Innovation and Entrepreneurship Hub, will drive a spirit of entrepreneurship across the campus and in Dublin city centre. It will support a growing culture of job creation among Trinity's students and faculties, and help position Dublin as a global node for innovation and start-up enterprises. Construction is scheduled to commence in 2015.
The new E3 will be the first institute of its kind in Ireland and internationally to integrate engineering, technology and the natural sciences, at scale. It aims to educate the next generation of talented engineers and scientists address major challenges such as sustainability. It will contribute to growth competitiveness for Ireland.
The Cancer institute will consolidate cancer care, research and education on one site in St James's Hospital, Dublin with the aim of improving cancer treatment based on cutting-edge research.
The five-year plan aims to maximise research impact, building on Ireland’s global reputation as a location for knowledge creation.
