Efficiency, Effectiveness and Value for Money: Insights from Ireland and Other Countries
A USTREAM report
This report provides examples of government-led initiatives implemented in response to national policy objectives and university-led collaborative initiatives and partnerships pursued by the Irish higher education sector to jointly tackle common issues, reduce duplication, maximise value for money and achieve critical mass.
The publication is a summary of the input, discussions and findings from the second USTREAM Peer Learning Seminar: National and institutional approaches to delivering efficiency, which took place on 4-5 December 2017 in Dublin. The seminar was jointly organised by the Irish Universities Association (IUA) and EUA as part of the USTREAM project to foster the exchange of good practices and strategies pursued by higher education institutions across Europe in order to address efficiency-driven policy priorities and tackle the related challenges, opportunities and pitfalls.
