At National College of Ireland, sustainability is not just a buzzword; it’s a guiding principle that permeates every aspect of our institution. From our academic programmes to our campus operations, we prioritise sustainability to ensure a thriving future for generations to come.

Days such as this give everyone at NCI, staff, students, and faculty, along with friends, family, and community neighbours the chance to come together. While days like this showcase the warm atmosphere that NCI consistently strives to create, it is highly rewarding when these days also serve a good cause. Being aware of sustainability issues and knowing how we can make changes is so important, and as nights grow colder and the festive season approaches, the Bring and Buy Sale allows the NCI community to come together to help others. Every little step creates the bigger picture.

Sustainability in Action

NCI has put sustainability at the very heart of our 5 Year Strategic Plan. The College aims to become one of the most sustainable third level institutions in the country and will align our teaching, research and campus to ensure sustainable practice across everything we do.

“We are excited to welcome the community to NCI for Sustainability Day 2025. Community engagement and education are essential to achieving our sustainability goals. This event not only highlights NCI’s own research and work in sustainability but also shares practical skills and ideas to empower the community to contribute through meaningful, everyday changes of their own.” ~ Frances Sheridan, Vice Dean for Undergraduate Programmes and Learning and Teaching at NCI’s School of Computing.
