Outreach, Industry & Links

UCC Process & Chemical Engineering maintains extensive links with industry partners, in particular in the locally important biopharmaceutical, pharmaceutical and food sectors. This extends to industry support for teaching and research positions, student industry placements, graduate employment (see ‘history and alumni’), student awards and scholarship (see ‘Undergraduate Awards’), provision of industry oriented postgraduate and continuing and professional development programmes (see ‘Postgraduates and Continuing Education’), co-funded, collaborative and industry oriented research (see ‘Research’), industry supported lectures, presentations and projects, and academic-industry-professional body nexus activities.

 With respect to the latter, Dr Denis Ring, who is Process & Chemical Engineering Industry Liaison & Communications lead, with special responsibility for professional industry liaison, is Chair and a founder member of the IChemE All Ireland Members Group.
