How We Can Help
We are committed to fostering partnerships across the U.S., Canada, and Northern Ireland, and actively encourage collaboration through student exchanges, academic initiatives, and joint research projects. We are also more than happy to engage directly with university classes to share insights into Northern Ireland’s rich history and global strengths. Our team connects institutions, supports joint research and exchange programs, hosts academic events and briefings, and supports school and university visits.
