The report is underpinned by our
2021-2023 Statement of Strategy
. That Strategy outlines our goals as Talent, Innovation, Inclusion, International, Governance and Capacity and a guiding mission to develop Ireland’s further and higher education and research system to support people in reaching their full potential and to create value, prosperity, resilience and a cohesive, sustainable and vibrant society. Each of the policies, initiatives and strategies described in this report were deployed in support of this mission and I am happy to note that we have been successful in advancing this ambitious agenda.
