This is aligned with our vision of solving the world’s most pressing problems and championing these issues at local, national, and global level. We actively support research and innovation activity from across the broad spectrum of disciplines pursued across all five TU Dublin faculties. We identify in our R and I strategy a set of <a href="/research-innovation/research/discover-our-research/expertise/">five research priorities</a>, aligned to selected SDGs, where we believe that
