We are pleased to inform staff, students and stakeholders across the region of an important milestone for Atlantic Technological University. Today, the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, Patrick O’Donovan TD, has granted approval for ATU to commence the process of appointing an Executive Management Team. 

This marks the beginning of an open recruitment process for senior leadership roles that will play a critical part in shaping the future of ATU. These appointments will enable us to further our mission of delivering balanced regional development and supporting the industries and communities we serve across our campuses. 

Speaking on this development, President of ATU, Dr Orla Flynn, said: “I am delighted to see the approval of a senior leadership team structure for ATU; appointments in key roles will allow us to continue the momentum built over the last three years and to take the next steps towards achieving all we have set out in our strategic plan.  I want to thank our Minister, officials of DFHERIS and the HEA for their support and guidance throughout this process.” 

Alongside ATU, Minister O’Donovan has also granted sanction for similar leadership teams at three other Technological Universities: Munster Technological University, Technological University of the Shannon: Midlands and Mid-West, and South-East Technological University. 

We look forward to sharing further updates in due course on this significant development for our university.
