Bridging Academia and Enterprise: A framework for Sustainable Collaboration Webinar
A practical framework to help TU Dublin respond to shifting learner demographics and strengthen its heritage of practice-based, enterprise-engaged education.
We are delighted to invite you to a webinar introducing the Enterprise Engagement Framework (EEF),developed from three years of learning and collaboration through TU Dublin’s Enterprise Academy/Convene project.
🗓️ Wednesday, October 15th, 2025 | 🕘 14:00 – 15:00hrs | 📍 Online Teams Webinar
The EEF captures the Enterprise Academy’s experience of co-designing and delivering accredited, enterprise-engaged programmes with industry partners and lifelong learners. It offers colleagues a five-phase process to navigate university systems and build sustainable partnerships with enterprise.
This session follows last month’s successful webinar, which shared the results of a comprehensive study of part-time professional learners and revealed a rapidly expanding postgraduate market. Building on that foundation, we will now introduce a framework for TU Dublin to more systematically forge sustainable relationships with industry partners to better serve these learners.
The webinar will be opened by Dr Paul Doyle, Dean, Faculty of Engineering, Built Environments and Apprenticeships, and will include a presentation of the EEF and a panel discussion.
Speakers include:
Nicole O’Neill (Education Innovation Manager); John Walsh (Head of School, Art and Design); Ann Masterson (Discipline Lead (HRM) and National Skills Council member); Dr Dee Duffy (Enterprise Academy Senior Engagement Manager).
