Our Mission
As we work toward the objectives and actions we wish to achieve, we note that ICS research is:
- Already embedded in the four strategic themes laid out in UCD’s Rising to the Future:
Creating a Sustainable Global Society; Transforming through Digital Technology;
Building a Healthy World; and Empowering Humanity - Highly interdisciplinary and integrated into an international research community
- Inclusive and engaged with all sectors of society
- Integrated with education so that our graduates may be equipped with knowledge for successful social participation
- Oriented towards social benefit
This will be achieved by building on our established reputation in Ireland and internationally through:
- Joint research projects, collaborations, and proposals at international level e.g., Horizon Europe, UK-Ireland
- Ranking in both disciplines of Library and Information Management and Media and Communications in the QS rankings
- High impact conference organisation, research exchange schemes and other collaborations
