Community and Stakeholder Engagement

Last updated 24th June

The development of the UCD strategy in 2024 is a collaborative process that draws on the great ideas from every part of our community around the future direction for the University. To this end, the UCD Vice-President for Strategy and External Engagement, Triona McCormack, and her team are leading a process of consultation within and beyond the University. These engagements have so far produced valuable inputs for the development of the next strategy.

Take a look below for further information about each engagement type.
