IADT delegation visit Canadian colleagues to strengthen and grow collaborations with support of the HEA, THEA and Enterprise Ireland

IADT President, David Smith and IADT’s VP for Research Development Innovation and Global Engagement, Emma Leahy, had a very productive few days in Toronto at the Colleges Ontario Higher Education Summit meeting with partners, participating in roundtable discussions and witnessing the MOU signing between Colleges Ontario, THEA, TUD, and MTU.

Daithí Mac Síthigh, Director of Strategic Projects, represented IADT in an HEA-led delegation to visit a number of Canada’s polytechnic institutions. It was an excellent opportunity for IADT to establish relationships with like-minded institutions and explore new areas for collaboration.

While there IADT also reaffirmed its partnership with Sheridan College and visited George Brown College to meet old friends, visit its new Brookfield Sustainability Institute (BSI) and discuss the announcement that Canada is to join Horizon Europe, the EU’s €95.5 billion programme for research and innovation.
