€9.5 million technological funding for South East Technological University (SETU)
Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science Simon Harris T.D. today announced funding of €9.5 million in funding for South East Technological University (SETU) under the new Technological Sector Advancement Fund (TSAF).
This fund replaces the Technological Sector Transformation Fund, which focused on the establishment of our Technological Universities.
The purpose of the €50 million national fund is to move past establishment phase and to embed the five TUs in the regions they serve.
The funding will contribute towards the costs of maintaining and mainstreaming existing activities, or initiating new activities that are an important next strategic step for institutions across a range of categories including:
- student support and success
- people and culture
- data and systems
- change management and integration
- engagement and system coherence
- reform and consolidation
