Partner with Creative Digital Media Students: Sponsor Creative Challenges & Live Projects
Collaboration is at the heart of TU Dublin, and we value developing mutually beneficial relationships. We’re seeking business and civic partners to sponsor live challenges for our multidisciplinary student teams at TU Dublin over a 10-12 week period. Partners collaborate with a pool of skilled students, gaining brand visibility and access to fresh ideas, digital solutions and new perspectives.
Why Get Involved?
Diverse Skills: The multi-disciplinary approach brings a unique blend of perspectives and skills focused on the sponsor’s specific problem or challenge.
Fresh Thinking: Third-level students bring ideas and perspectives from diverse market segments.
Innovative Approaches: Underpinned by Design Thinking, students foster a culture of experimentation and risk-taking.
Accelerated Problem Solving: When projects are stalled due to resource constraints, students can inject new energy and time to problem-solving.
Talent Pipeline: Collaboration creates a talent pipeline making it easier to potential future employees early.
Long-Term Partnerships: Establishing collaborations can lead to enduring partnerships, creating long-term connections.
Community Engagement: Partnering with students showcases commitment to education, innovation, and collaboration.
What Makes a Good Project?
We’re seeking business and civic partners to sponsor live challenges for our multidisciplinary student teams at TU Dublin over a 10-12 week period.

The problem should be broad, without the need for specialised knowledge, inviting a range of potential solutions and ideas.
Getting Involved - Next Steps
We’ll schedule an initial virtual meeting to chat about the perfect problem for our student teams. We’ll craft a project brief, send it your way for feedback, and incorporate your suggestions. We’re requesting three points of on-campus engagement from project sponsors throughout the semester, which run from January-May and September-December each year:
