Welcome to Dr Eemer Eivers

Dr Eemer Eivers has joined DCU as the Director of the DCU Futures Evaluation which is described by the programme team as" the most ambitious innovation in teaching and learning in the history of Dublin City University (DCU). Operating as a blueprint for the University and funded by the Human Capital Initiative, this €19.9 million project is an unprecedented commitment to radically re-imagine undergraduate education for the 21st century to meet the challenge of empowering students to be future-capable and thrive in an increasingly unscripted world defined by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity."

DCU Institute of Education has been contracted to evaluate this initiative and the evaluation will be housed in EQI. Dr Eivers has been appointed to the role of Director of the evaluation until the end of the programme in March 2025. Dr Eivers is a hugely experienced educational researcher who has worked as a researcher, advisor and evaluator nationally and internationally. Working with a programme team drawn from the DCU IoE, EQI and CARPE Dr Eivers will be responsible for the design and implementation of the DCU Futures Evaluation Framework with a view to facilitating institutional and programme level learning from the intervention.
