| dc.description | The National Strategy for Higher Education to 2030 (January 2011), among other goals, proposed reform of Ireland’s institute of technology sector to better meet national strategic objectives. Specifically, it recommended consolidation within the sector and a pathway for consortia of institutes of technology to evolve into technological universities upon demonstration that they have met or exceed threshold criteria to attain technological university status.
To this end, the Technological Universities Act, 2018 (the Act) came into effect in March 2018. The Act sets out the functions, governance, academic oversight and operational requirements of technological universities. It specifies eligibility criteria and application requirements for consortia seeking technological university designation. It describes the order and transitional mechanisms in the establishment of new technological universities and provides for an independent advisory panel to assess preparedness for a merger.
The MTU partnership – Cork Institute of Technology (CIT) and the Institute of Technology Tralee (ITT) – submitted an application in February 2019 to become Ireland’s second technological university. This International Advisory Panel was convened in the third week of May 2019 by An tUdaras, the Higher Education Authority (HEA), to provide independent advice to the Minister for Education and Skills on the merits of the CIT/ITT application for technological university status. | en |
