 Having a Delta Award is important I suppose for a couple of reasons from an institutional level and just having the prestige of having a Delta Award associated with your program or your course or your team is really good in terms of attracting high quality students and just the reputational value of having a Delta Award you know on a kind of a macro level. It's really useful for the team as well to look at where you have been and where you're going to and to see the goals that you've achieved the things that are outstanding and to create strategies and timelines going forward for that and so it creates a map a roadmap for you into the future as well as allowing you time to consider what you have achieved and what still is outstanding from the past. Well Elevate our team it's about creating a space for students to engage in their own way with teaching and learning modalities that best support their deep understanding of complex molecular-based concepts. It applies principles of student partnership working with students as co-creators as well as users of immersive learning technologies. The Delta Award and and I think more importantly the process underpinning it provides a framework through which to scaffold their vision for how that can best be implemented guided by best practice in digitized learning approaches and grounded in subtle and sound pedagogical theory and I think it's important to recognize that the National Forum brings together a significant body of international best practice and it's an excellent focal point for interdisciplinary teams such as ourselves to coalesce around. The award acknowledges the strength of our team of students and staff working together to develop even further the entrepreneurship ecosystem across the university and the region. We use the accolade when applying for external European and national funding and attracting project and research partners. Our recent award prompted discussion with MTU's King Centre for Entrepreneurship Excellence and the Finnish University who are interested in exploring our award winning entrepreneurship excellence has a good practice for their university. Well we would see Delta as much more than an award. It's a research and practice oriented community that has the potential to transform the teaching and learning landscape in Ireland and internationally. Delta fosters excellence and Ireland has the people to deliver that on a global stage. It's also important to recognize the importance of collaboration and interdisciplinary. Delta and the National Forum fosters that potential in a meaningful and purposeful way. Well the sector is evolving at an astonishing rate there's changes in the composition of the various higher educational bodies that we have and it's a it's a competitive environment. Students have a lot of choice and I think in terms of making programs accountable on an external level for their excellence and to showcase what we can offer is really important and the Delta mechanism is one of the ways that we can actually do that. So by creating an environment that isn't necessarily competitive but encourages groups like ourselves to strive for excellence and to demonstrate that excellence and opportunities offers an opportunity for HTAs to showcase what they can do and the scale and the extent and the excellence of offerings that the Irish higher educational community has to offer.
