UCC launches Global Development Centre

PROMOTING the need for greater collaboration and co-operation between the developing and developed worlds is the focus of the new UCC Centre for Global Development.

The university has committed to strengthening external engagement, maximising the impact of its research and teaching programmes for the benefit of the wider society, locally and globally.

Deputy president Professor Irene Lynch-Fannon said: “The first major step in the creation of an organisational structure for the delivery of UCC’s Strategic Plan ambition for engagement in global development has now been taken with the formal launch of this centre.”
