The aim of the project is to build the capacity and readiness of the partner institutions for an effective transition to international digital learning. This will be achieved through the innovative COIL approach, the effective use of digital technologies and the development of related skills for teachers and students. The project responds to the need for digitalization, internationalisation and practice-orientation of higher education in occupational safety and health (OSH).

Report by IFUT

Precarious Employment in Higher Education

The Irish Federation of University Teachers (IFUT) is a trade union representing university staff across Ireland. It represents many grades across university branches including lecturers, researchers, tutors, librarians and other grades. IFUT is the only trade union in Ireland which exclusively organises workers in universities. In 2023, IFUT published a report titled "Precarious Employment in Higher Education in Ireland."

IFUT is currently in the process of revisiting the research to determine whether the situation is improving or worsening, strives to address the findings and engages with employers across the sector to secure improvements for union members.
