The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented societal challenges.  The Irish university sector has maintained ‘business as usual’ to the greatest extent possible by a rapid transition to remote learning. Meanwhile, the sector galvanised into immediate action, contributing to the national emergency response in every way possible as the pandemic developed. Our universities and their staff have and are making a hugely valuable contribution to the national efforts to fight the Covid-19 pandemic.

Nationally, working together with the sector the IUA captures some key highlights of those efforts.
