We're already missing last week's sunshine! ☀️

Summer is the perfect time to visit Greenacre and that's exactly what our visitors from Jefferson College did.

While admiring the community garden and Hobbit house, they also learned about the sustainability efforts in our space, including the mushroom farm.

If your unit or society would like to visit Greenacre this summer, just send us a message or email us at [email protected]

It was an honour for the UCD Innovation Academy team to attend the official launch of The Spirit of Shackleton alongside our MSc in Design Thinking for Sustainability students, including Iakov, our Shackleton Scholar, and Luna.

The event was a powerful celebration of exploration, resilience, leadership, and community — values that strongly resonate with the work we do across sustainability, innovation, and creative education.

Thank you to for inviting us to be part of such a memorable and inspiring occasion.
