We were delighted to be shortlisted in the ‘Engaged University of the Year Global Award’ category at the 2023 ACEEU Triple E Awards in Barcelona in June. The Triple E Awards are a global recognition of efforts toward the quest for entrepreneurship and engagement in higher education and are awarded annually by the Accreditation Council for Entrepreneurial and Engaged Universities (ACEEU). The ‘Engaged University of the Year Global Award’ category recognises universities who are forging partnerships with industry partners and community groups. 

‘This kind of international recognition is supportive and our links with international organisations such as ACEEU help us to ensure that we are informed by international best practice. This award is a recognition of MTU's commitment to, and leadership in, engagement throughout the university. We are not just ready to engage, but we are proactive in seeking out opportunities. We know that building and developing relationships requires long-term commitment and our committed team values our relationships with public, private, and not-for-profit organisations’, Prof Irene Sheridan, Head of MTU Extended Campus.
