The Dublin Region Higher Education Alliance (DRHEA) is a strategic alliance of the Higher Education sector in the wider Dublin city-region. It includes four Universities and their associated Colleges (TCD, UCD, DCU and NUI Maynooth) and four Institutes of Technology (DIT, IADT, ITB and ITT Dublin), many with long established and internationally renowned reputations for excellence in teaching and research.
The DRHEA seeks to combine the strengths of its constituent member institutions in key areas, driving economies of scale and efficiencies that will enable both forward-planning and agile responses to national and international demands for high quality, accessible Higher Education that underpins sustainable socio-economic development.
