Reports to The Atlantic Philanthropies by the Cork University Foundation [CUF] for grant 09818 and 09817

View on DRI

Context

University College Dublin Foundation received funding from The Atlantic Philanthropies for a project called National Discourse, which became known as We the Citizens, a democratic participatory project to ignite citizen involvement in democracy in Ireland. The academic team involved in the independent project includes academics from University College Dublin, Dublin City University, Trinity College Dublin, and University College Cork. Involving a national and international scientific advisory bord, We the Citizens tested whether a more participatory form of democracy could work in Ireland at a time when people felt adrift and disconnected from power. In late 2012 the Irish government established the Convention on the Constitution, which followed many of the procedures spearheaded by We the Citizens.

In 2001, Cork University Foundation [CUF] was given €13,485,000 for a project titled UCC Library. With this funding, the foundation was to enable University College Cork to construct and equip the undergraduate component of a new Library being funded under Cycle 3 of the PRTLI up to a maximum contribution by The Atlantic Philanthropies of €18,000,000.
