The recently announced collaborative efforts between Trinity College and University College Dublin were announced in the context of creating new, sustainable jobs. Clearly caught the attention of the other universities – given their more recent announcement of collaboration
. These collaborative efforts seem to include attempts to find cost savings/ efficiencies through sharing of backoffice resources.
Collaboration both within the enterprise and across the globe must be key for Irish universities. These types of initiative are making the news – but should be seen as ‘meat and drink’ to leading learning organisations.
Looking forward to the fruits of third level collaboration.
