UL Engage reports highlight the manifold ways that UL uses its engagement with the Mid-West to empower the regional communities we serve. These include a raft of activities designed to include underrepresented groups and encourage their involvement in third level education, as well as award-winning programmes like CWELL, that provide education and training to tomorrow’s community leaders. It showcases the wide range of community-engaged research activities, which enable us to harness our academics’ expertise to conduct research with and for the people of the Mid-West. And, increasingly, it illustrates the way that UL is using its global reach as an international research university to bring new approaches to community engagement from around the world home to Limerick.
