Summary

TU Dublin was formally established on January 1st 2019, the culmination of more than seven years of collaboration between the three partner Institutes – Institute of Technology Blanchardstown, Dublin Institute of Technology and Institute of Technology Tallaght. With a history stretching back over one hundred and thirty years, TU Dublin is a pioneer of technological higher education with our alumni playing important roles in innovation, economic and social development, and culture and education, both in Ireland and internationally.

TU Dublin continues to build on those solid foundations and to respond to the social, cultural and educational needs of Ireland in the 21st century. TU Dublin is renowned for its extensive community engagement. Our long tradition of outreach and widening participation in higher education is evidenced by our award winning Students Learning with Communities Programme and our receiving of the MacJannet Award for Global Citizenship from the Talloires Network in 2011.

Heatmap colour legend:

In the TEFCE Toolbox: „4 The heatmap is focused on the dimensions of community-engagement activities. The dimensions that relate to the supportive environment for community engagement (Dimensions VI – Management/policies; and Dimension VII – Supportive peers) are only subject to the ‘Authenticity’ characteristic of the heatmap since those dimensions relate to ensuring the institutional conditions for engaging with communities rather than on engagement activities themselves.“

* Methodological note:
The aim of this feature is to allow users to explore the variety of ways in which universities approach and organise community engagement, without allowing a direct/competitive comparison of performance. Similar and different institutions are automatically generated based on the results of their institutional community engagement heatmap results. The method used is applying Euclidean distance between institutions to provide the similar and differing institutions, which calculates the distance in an n-dimensional space between two cases.
