The Irish Universities Association is the representative body for Ireland’s seven universities. Through consultation and collaborative projects we develop strategy and policy to advance third and fourth level education and research. Our shared aim is to maximise the universities’ contribution to Ireland’s social, cultural and economic well-being.
