Students as Partners in Innovation and Change Fellowship Programme

As part of this project, IADT are delighted to announce the launch of a sector-wide scheme to empower change through student-staff partnerships.

Up to 100 ‘Students as Partners Innovation and Change’ Fellowships are available.  These provide an opportunity for students and staff to collaborate on small-scale enhancement projects that will have an immediate impact on the student experience.  Up to €5,000 is available to support each project. 7 fellowships have been allocated to IADT.

Applications can be made by teams of students and staff or by individual students (who will be matched with staff partners if successful).

This fellowship programme is a wonderful opportunity for students and staff to collaborate on projects that improve the student experience within their own institutions. These projects might be focused on a specific module, programme or discipline or might be campus or institute-wide. Each project must address at least one of the themes presented below and should result in a positive change that can be sustained. All successful project fund recipients of the NTUTORR Partners in Innovation Fellowship Programme will be awarded a NTUTORR project engagement Certificate and a Digital Badge recognising their project achievements at the Fellowship Celebration and Showcase Event planned for April 2024.
