Abstract
This paper explores a 7-day trip to Ireland undertaken by professors who came from more than a dozen universities, including those in marketing, accounting, organizational psychology and international business. This was a faculty development trip sponsored by FIU’s Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER), housed at FIU Business, and Loyola Marymount University’s CIBER.
Ireland occupies a particularly strategic position in the European economy. Northern Ireland is sill a part of Great Britain, and consequently left the European Union in 2020(“Brexit”), while Ireland remains a part of the European Union (EU). The trip was themed “Sustainability through Innovation in the Gateway of the EU,” in May 2024 and included visits to the University of Galway and Trinity University in Ireland, and Queen’s University in Northern Ireland. A panel in Galway featured Aerogen, Enterprise Ireland, Industrial Development Authority and the American Chamber of Commerce.
During the seven-day trip, the group visited Accenture consulting form, Medtronics, Signify Health (owned by CVS) and Guinness, a brewery which predates the nation of Ireland. The faculty development trip included sops in Dublin on Ireland’s Eas Coas, Galway on Ireland’s Wes Coast, the small historic village of Athlone in rural Ireland and Belfast in Northern Ireland.
