Enterprise Ireland

Education in Ireland’ is the national brand, under which Enterprise Ireland promotes Ireland as an international centre of excellence for higher education and a location for world class research. Enterprise Ireland manages the brand on behalf of the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science.
Education in Ireland engages in the recruitment of international students. Each academic cycle Education in Ireland runs a series of national fairs, aimed at connecting prospective students with Irish HEIs. These events serve to generate leads on behalf of the Irish HEIs, but also to build the brand in the respective markets among students and stakeholders.
The framework agreement will be established, with a single provider, on foot of a competition for an initial contract for the provision of a number of international education virtual and face to face events of different types across multiple geographic regions.
