Institute of Technology Carlow

Institute of Technology, Carlow is one of the largest technical colleges in Ireland, with campuses in Carlow, Wexford and Wicklow, and part-time provision elsewhere in the Republic.

Research, Development and Innovation (RDI) is an integral part of IT Carlow's activities and is a vital aspect of the interaction of the Institute with industry and other higher education and research institutes, on both a national and international basis.

The Institute's RDI activities are complemented by various campus-based specialist centres and campus companies, which include the Campus Innovation Centre and the Enterprise & Research Incubation Centre and, in particular, its multimillion-euro dedicated research facility,

The institute has been planning a joint application with Waterford IT for the formation of a technological university for the south east region since the mid-2010s
