Online Orientation for Research Staff
Hosting Agreements
Non EU/EEA nationals require permission to work and study in Ireland. Non-EU researchers applying for research positions in accredited research organisations can use a fast-track work permit (Hosting Agreement) scheme. This allows the host research organisation to employ the researcher without the need for a work permit.
Training & Supports
HR Excellence in Research
HR Excellence in Research Award and the Charter and Code for Researchers.
Shaping the future of the Human Reseources strategy for researchers in UCC.
HEA Odyssey Programme
The Higher Education Authority (HEA) has launched the Odyssey Programme, a national initiative designed to help PhD students plan successful careers beyond academia. First piloted at University College Cork, the programme was officially introduced at the HEA Research Futures event in July 2023.
How it works:
- A 2-day online course for up to 20 final-year PhD students from any discipline
- Two staff members from each participating institution join as observers to learn how to run the programme locally
