Connect with MTU - an opportunity to learn more about how the university can help. On Friday 26th April MTU welcomed over 150 stakeholders to the Kerry North Campus for the Connect with MTU event. This event was an opportunity for anyone to connect with the university. Companies, start-ups, businesses, entrepreneurs, community groups and the general public were invited to visit the campus from 8.30am to 11.00am to connect with the university.

According to Anne Looney, External Services Manager, Kerry the event was a great success. “This is the first year we held this event, and we were delighted with the reaction. We host many Open Days throughout the year which are very much focused on CAO applicants. This event provided an opportunity for us to engage with our wider stakeholder groups”.

Companies looking for research support to bring innovation into their business could meet our Research Centres, Clusters and Technology Gateways. Our lifelong department was there to guide potential applicants through the courses on offer or talk to companies about upskilling their staff. Kerry Sports Academy provided tours of the facilities and offered fitness testing on the day. The morning also provided a great occasion to network and meet our partners such as Kerry County Council, SkillNet and Tech Industry Alliance.
