Access Partnership
Through its Access and Outreach work TU Dublin aims to promote inclusion and diversity by working collaboratively with a range of statutory, community and voluntary organisations.
These include:
Science Foundation Ireland – Discover Programme
SFI Discover Programme funding will create greater public awareness of the impact of STEM on society and everyday life, generate opportunities for dialogue and encourage diversity in STEM-related disciplines.
The TU Dublin STEM: Try Five + Project is funded under the SFI Discover Programme. STEM: Try Five + is a co-created, research-informed suite of workshops based on the theme of Space Science and Exploration developed in line with the Irish Primary School Curriculum and intended to foster, increase and sustain levels of science aspiration in primary school pupils in DEIS schools.

Basis.point
Basis.point ambition is to give every child in Ireland equal access to a brighter future by funding evidence based educational programmes that tackle complex issues arising as children journey through their educational lifecycle to reach their life goals. With our eyes on a better future, we offer hope to children who wouldn't normally have access to support structures that allow them to reach their potential.
Since 2017 basis.point has funded the TU Dublin Junior Cycle Workshop Programme which has allowed over 5,000 students for 1st to 3rd year in partner DEIS schools access a range of workshops in TU Dublin across a range of subject areas. [Link to Junior Cycle section of the website]
Workday
In 2022 TU Dublin announced a three year partnership with Workday a leader in enterprise cloud applications for finance and human resources, to foster the next generation of tech innovators.
This partnership has led to significant benefits for TU Dublin partner schools to include:
funding support for the STEM: Try Five + Project, laptop donations for schools and TU Dublin workshops, TY work placements, volunteering opportunities for Workday employees, support for Women in STEM competitions and SPACE Week in TU Dublin.
