The HCI Pillar 3 midterm review and project exhibition was launched on 29th June last in the convention centre, Dublin. The midterm report demonstrates that the programme is exceeding its targets on the creation of new courses, with over 1,000 created – 800 more than the initial target. Over 4,000 additional student places have been achieved through direct funding, with a significant number still expected as projects mature. The event exhibition provided a showcase all the 24 projects innovations and collaborations, which make up our HCI Pillar 3 collaboration nation.
