HCI Pillar 3 Midterm Conference

The Higher Education 4.0 team was delighted to be a part of the HCI Midterm Conference which took place in the Convention Centre, Dublin, on 29 June and coincided with the launch of the HCI Pillar 3 midterm report.

The midterm report shows that the programme, which Higher Education 4.0 is a part of, is exceeding its targets on the creation of new courses, with over 1,000 created – 800 more than the initial target.

A very impressive 4,000 additional student places have been achieved through direct funding, with a significant number still expected as projects mature.

The event exhibition provided a showcase all the 24 projects innovations and collaborations, which make up the HCI Pillar 3 collaboration nation.

We particularly enjoyed meeting the team members from the other projects and seeing the inspiring and innovative work that is taking place in third-level education in Ireland.

A highlight for the team was introducing the project to Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, Simon Harris.

A short video on the enterprise engagement element of the project is available here:
