This year, UCC's Innovation Week will take place from April 7th - 11th. The aim of Innovation Week is to showcase some of the excellent innovations from across the UCC ecosystem, and to encourage UCC students, graduates, and researchers alike to think about the different ways that their ideas and research can be transformed to create economic and societal impact.

Many of the events scheduled across campus during Innovation Week are multi-disciplinary and include exciting collaborations between different Colleges and Research Institutes in UCC. The Colleges of Science, Engineering and Food Sciences, Medicine and Health and Tyndall National Institute are holding a collaborative event on Monday 7^th April, which will showcase different innovations and their pathways to creating impact. Another event on Tuesday 8th April, co-organised by the Colleges of Business and Law, and Arts, Celtic Studies and Social Sciences, will showcase innovation and impact in the fields of business, arts and humanities.

Other events during the week include a collaborative event between UCC and Enterprise Ireland, where funding opportunities to scale and grow your company through research and innovation will be presented. The week will also feature a showcase of recent start-ups from the IGNITE Graduate Business programme, a consultancy showcase and information session, training on intellectual property, and an event with UCC’s Entrepreneurs in Residence.
