Good Practice Symposium 2026
The 2026 Good Practice Symposium, with its thematic focus of belonging, aims to showcase case studies which are or intend to cultivate belonging in UCC.
At UCC, belonging can refer to the shared experience of feeling welcomed, valued, respected and the ability to fully participate in university life.
It is grounded through UCC’s strategic commitment to a people-centred, inclusive and engaged university, fostered through UCC’s strategy, Graduate Attributes Programme, EDI Framework and Global Engagement Strategy.
This sense of belonging, extends beyond staff and students to encompass a wider community of stakeholders, including alumni, local and regional partners, community organisations, industry, policymakers and international collaborators.
Submissions
If you have an example of Good Practice that may benefit others, we encourage you to submit using the provided submission link. The Symposium is open to all staff and students, who have a case study to present as a poster or oral presentation.
Submissions should align with the theme of Belonging and may relate to teaching, learning, research, professional services, training, systems, processes, or any initiative that embeds belonging within UCC either directly or indirectly.
All submissions must be received by the 16th March deadline through the submission link provided.
