University of Limerick sets sights on Hollywood to broaden international profile

The University of Limerick has set its sights on Hollywood as part of a new plan to broaden the college’s international business profile.

A five-year roadmap for growth and development at UL, titled Excellence & Impact 2020 — research and innovation strategy, was launched yesterday.

Mary Shire, vice-president of research at UL, said the impending arrival of a major film studio in Plassey Technological Park, next to the college, presents a whole new opportunity for UL.
