A Technological University for South East Ireland has moved a step closer with the inaugural meeting of the TUSEI Regional Engagement Advisory Group, writes Brian Byrne.

The meeting last week was co-chaired by the Presidents of Institute of Technology Carlow (IT Carlow) and Waterford Institute of Technology. It was addressed by Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, Simon Harris TD.

Dr Patricia Mulcahy, President IT Carlow, said TUSEI 'will be of, and for, the south east, but with a national and global perspective and reach'. Prof Willie Donnelly, President WIT said the advisory group 'will help us succeed in the final stages of achieving … a long-held ambition'.

The Advisory Group will support creation of a framework for dialogue by all stakeholders, identifying shared objectives and how regional engagement can be designed from the outset into teaching, research and innovation. Opportunities to develop sustainability in the region will also be on its agenda.

The group will include nominees from a wide range of business, educational, and technology groups in the south-east.
