Eight international partnerships are underway between Canadian polytechnic institutions and Irish technological universities and institutes of technology. These projects represent the first phase of collaborative activity to develop common tools, experiment with new ways to deliver teaching and learning, and encourage faculty and students to engage with their international counterparts around common challenges. Beginning in September 2025 and continuing for up to 18 months, the following projects will explore the integration of augmented and virtual reality, build artificial intelligence fluency and encourage connection through joint projects, communities of practice and online learning.
