TU Dublin Joins EuroStat
TU Dublin has recently secured its position as the latest Irish university to become affiliated with Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union. Eurostat plays a pivotal role in producing reliable statistical data that supports the development of EU policies, while also enabling comparison across countries. The affiliation means that TU Dublin will now have access to an invaluable set of resources that will help enhance the research capabilities of its staff and students. Through this association, TU Dublin joins a network of prestigious institutions that have direct access to Eurostat's data, contributing to the further development of scientific knowledge and policy insights in Europe.
Dr John Donovan, the Head of Research Support Services at TU Dublin, expressed his delight with the new affiliation;
This is great news for TU Dublin after a long approval and verification process. I am delighted that these statistical resources will now be available to our researchers, empowering them to conduct research of even higher quality and greater relevance to European policy and development.
The approval and verification process for such an affiliation is meticulous and rigorous, ensuring that only universities with the necessary expertise and infrastructure can access Eurostat's extensive statistical databases. This milestone for TU Dublin is the culmination of months, if not years, of work and dedication from its research staff to meet Eurostat’s stringent criteria.
Dr Donovan highlighted the growing importance of aligning TU Dublin with European research networks like Eurostat. The university has increasingly become a key player in Europe’s academic landscape, and this affiliation marks a step toward enhancing its role in shaping European research and policy. The partnership with Eurostat also strengthens TU Dublin’s international reputation and its standing as a hub for impactful, data-driven research.
