UCD staff - work with us!

Are you passionate about widening participation in your college, school or unit? Do you have an idea for an initiative that could help to share your subject with communities beyond UCD? We are always looking to collaborate with members of UCD Faculty and staff to find new and exciting ways to engage with underrepresented communities and to broaden our learning community.

On this page you will find out about:

  • Information about the Widening Participation Outreach Coordinating Network
  • Examples of successful Outreach initiatives
  • Our UCD Outreach Guidelines which may be useful for UCD staff embarking on outreach activities together with a shared folder of sample resources.

Widening Participation Outreach Network

The Widening Participation Outreach Coordinating Network is a subgroup of the UCD Widening Participation Committee and brings together UCD staff who are interested in engaging in Widening Participation Outreach activities to increase the participation of underrepresented students at UCD.

The network meets three times a year to share examples of good practice and to maximise the impact of UCD engaging with underrepresented communities.

See below to view some UCD Widening Participation outreach initiatives, to find out more about the Network and to access our Outreach Guidelines and Resources.
