UCD CampUs Collective
The UCD CampUs Collective invites students to come together this spring to design and deliver small-scale projects that strengthen connection, foster inclusion, and build a sense of belonging at UCD. 
Projects can be social, cultural, creative, academic, wellbeing-focused − or entirely new ideas that grow community and belonging across campus.

Key highlights of the initiative:

  • Student-led projects with support from trained mentors and workshops.
  • Seed funding of up to €1,000 per project.
  • Paid participation for students and recognition opportunities (including the UCD Advantage Award).
  • Training, collaboration, and team development throughout the spring 2026 trimester.
  • Projects that directly enhance student connection and contribute to a welcoming campus culture.

This initiative is kindly funded by University for All as part of the Staff Partnership Programme, reflecting our shared commitment to inclusion and belonging for all students at UCD.
