How does the Enterprise Academy Fellowship work?
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.
The Enterprise Academy Fellowship provides time out to pause intense schedules, explore, experiment and deliver skills and innovation solutions for enterprise. Fellows will be 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. Fellows will be based in their host organisation and in the Enterprise Academy, an “internal incubator” for TU Dublin, which will help staff translate between enterprise needs and academic solutions, align projects to the university strategic plan, navigate our complex systems, integrate our collective expertise and co-create solutions around priority enterprise needs.
