The IUA-led project, Enhancing Digital Capacity in Teaching and Learning in Irish Universities, is a 3-year project involving all seven Irish universities. The aim is to enhance the digital attributes and educational experiences of Irish university students through enabling the mainstreamed and integrated use of digital technologies across the teaching and learning process. To achieve this, the project focuses on the professional development of all staff who teach or support learning. The project started in January 2019 and will run until the end of 2021. This paper describes the organisation of the project, which brings together academic leaders in each of the universities to provide oversight, as well as a project team with members embedded in each university context. The project activities in the first year are described, including the collection of data related to CPD opportunities to provide a baseline, and the launch of seven pilots across the university sector.
