About the Fellowship Programme
The Enterprise Academy Fellowship programme supports staff wishing to co-create skills and innovation solutions with enterprise, aligned to TU Dublin’s strategic goals. Funded by the Human Capital Initiative, Enterprise Fellows are seconded from their regular role on a full-time basis for one semester. Staff in academic faculties, professional services, research or innovation centres are eligible to apply.
Fellows support TU Dublin's aim of developing the most connected university by cultivating a network of discoverers, creators and entrepreneurs and engaging with people for University-Enterprise engagement. Fellowships allows space and time out to explore, experiment and deliver skills and innovation solutions for enterprise. Fellows are immersed in a ‘velcro’ ecosystem where staff and students from enterprise, academia, professional services, innovation, research and our international partners come together for the common purpose of innovation, talent and skills development. Leveraging the best practice of prior fellowship colleagues, Fellows are supported throughout the innovation lifecycle to deliver skills and innovation solutions for enterprise.
