Atlantic TU to receive €3,979,631 for a Greener and more Accessible University

Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, Simon Harris recently announced an extra €40 million for higher education institutions for this academic year.

ATU have been allocated nearly €4 million from this fund. The university will use the funding for key capital investment priorities, including:

• General ICT and equipment-related upgrades

• Investments to support universal access

• Energy efficiency and decarbonisation upgrades

• Health and safety works, and other building upgrades

I am delighted to announce a significant devolved capital grant for the higher education sector to support a range of capital priorities. The funding forms part of ongoing investment in the higher education sector under Project Ireland 2040 and reaffirms a strong commitment to public investment in higher education infrastructure. ”

Previous allocations under the devolved capital grant have delivered tangible benefits for students and staff and complements other Project Ireland 2040 capital investments in the higher education sector.
