“Our University has always been close to community. The west of Ireland is an environment that demands that.  We’re in the middle of a city; we’re in the middle of a very rich environment both culturally and economically and that’s something we can all benefit greatly from. 

 

It’s a two-way street, the University can give back to community but we get back much, much more in terms of learning from the experience and the engagement.” 

 

- Professor Jim Browne, President, NUI Galway.
