Sustainable Communities
Across education, research and operations activities, TU Dublin is committed to generate positive societal impacts by supporting our people and communities to adopt the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by promoting social innovation, responsible citizenship, and collective action among our University community.
We do this by creating, connecting, testing, and enhancing engagement capabilities and opportunities through Schools & Faculties in a practice-based learning environment and impact-focused research aligned to TU Dublin and National level priorities to influence positive change.
