At the Institute of Art, Design and Technology (IADT), we foster a dynamic research ecosystem that leverages expertise across our two Faculties: Film, Art and Creative Technologies, and Enterprise and Humanities. Research excellence is a cornerstone of our 2024–2028 Strategic Plan, "Towards a Creative University," demonstrating our commitment to knowledge creation and innovation. Our research capabilities are further strengthened through strategic collaborations with the European Universities Alliance (FilmEU) and Maynooth University. These partnerships are complemented by participation in innovative funded initiatives supported by Horizon Europe, Erasmus+, the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), Research Ireland, and other prominent funders.
