Priority Initiatives
Tionscnaimh Thosaíochta
To invest in strong foundations for our core activities of research and teaching, to ensure we effectively implement our strategic priorities, and to make tangible the positive change that our community and stakeholders can expect to engage in, contribute to and benefit from, we will invest in a number of Priority Initiatives that are resourced, output-oriented and time-bound:
- Future Talent Programme: We will invest to attract new talent in research, teaching and professional services to Galway, develop current staff, and grow our PhD cohort through targeted programmes that advance our strategic priorities.
- Student Success Centre: This dedicated unit will collaborate with Colleges and central student services to use data, student feedback and targeted interventions to drive student progression rates and support and monitor student success, health, wellbeing and transitions.
- Student Digital Pathways: We will complete this major digital transformation programme to improve the organisation, processes, underlying technology and data used to manage the students’ journey at University of Galway – from recruitment to graduation.
- Research Process Improvement Project: A multi-faceted change programme that improves the research journey and experience, empowering our research community with streamlined processes and targeted supports across the research lifecycle to maximise our impact.
- Technology-Enablement Programme: Significant investment in our ICT operating models and the successful delivery of digital infrastructure projects will be critical to our success in the coming years.
- Communicating Distinctiveness Project: We will amplify our international reputation for research and education through targeted communications and engagement campaigns, including a redesigned website that demonstrates our distinction to the world.
