Inspiring Generations was publicly launched on 2 May 2019 – the largest such campaign ever launched on the island of Ireland. It is framed around key priority projects, including the Redevelopment of the Old Library, the Trinity St James’s Cancer Institute and E3, the Engineering, Environment & Emerging Technologies Learning Foundry and Research Institute, all underpinned by the funding of student scholarships and research fellowships to bring talent to the university. The aim with Inspiring Generations is to deeply engage the wider Trinity global community of alumni, friends and businesses with the university’s mission in education and research, and to connect with each other. Speaking personally, one of the great highlights of this past decade has been my involvement with Trinity and, in truth, that’s not just for selfless reasons. It’s exhilarating to see major projects take off and to feel you had some part in shaping them. It has been wonderful to play a role in helping the campaign meet its ambitious goals of raising €400 million in donations and 150,000 hours in volunteering. When we set these targets we aimed high; our confidence in Trinity’s alumni and friends has been amply justified.
