Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 May 2021
620. Deputy Mairéad Farrell asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science the role that Irish universities play in an organisation (details supplied) which lists universities around Europe as its partner universities. [26111/21]
View answerIrish universities are independent and autonomous statutory bodies established under the Universities Act, 1997 which guarantees the principle of academic freedom and puts in place detailed institutional level governance arrangements for the management, operation, policies and strategy of the relevant institution.
The participation of a higher education institution with this organisation is a matter for the institution, having regard to its internal governance arrangements.
