Just Under €10m Funding To Go To Midlands Institutions

Thursday, 7 November 2024 08:57

The money is being split into two different grants.

Just under €10m in funding is going towards Midlands higher education institutions.

The department of further education has granted TUS just over €4.3m and SETU over €5.5m.

The money is being split into two different grants, the Devolved Capital Grant and the Research Equipment Grant.

Nationally €80m in capital funds has been made available to institutions.

TUS has been awarded €3,107,482 as part of the Devolved Grant and €1,231,998 as part of the Research Equipment Grant.

SETU has been awarded €3,342,440 as part of the Devolved Grant and €2,229,229 as part of the Research Equipment Grant.

Minister O'Donovan says:

'This Department continues to provide the resources required to ensure our third level sector can offer the best facilities and equipment to its students and staff.'

'Our higher education institutions face substantial challenges in meeting climate targets and this grant will support them in making energy efficiency and decarbonisation upgrades.'

'This funding confirms this Government’s commitment to higher education and to delivering world class facilities.'
