University teams up with NI businesses

The University of Ulster is teaming up with Northern Ireland’s leading companies to form mutually beneficial partnerships.

As part of its corporate outreach the University is holding a Sponsorship Showcase on June 2 at its Jordanstown campus to outline the benefits of working together.

Companies throughout Northern Ireland can tap into this resource by entering into partnerships with the university.

Among the opportunities are: teaching and lifelong learning; sporting events; conferences and lectures; publications; research; professorial chairs; cultural events, open days and the university website.

Various stands and demonstrations from participating faculties and departments will be on display at the event to inform key decision-makers from a wide range of businesses how they can become more closely associated with the University.

The event will also be an excellent opportunity for networking with senior University staff.

UU is currently the largest university in Ireland, with four campuses and 24,000 on-campus students, and contributes around £240m to the local economy annually.
