3 Irish colleges included in the top 100 most innovative universities
Three Irish universities have been included in the top 100 most innovative universities in Europe.
Trinity College Dublin, University College Cork and University College Dublin have all been included in the ranks, and we're pretty proud.
Three colleges in the UK made the list, as well as two in Switzerland and Germany, one in France and one in the Netherlands taking the top spots.
The list by Reuters ranked Trinity in 60th place, while UCC came in 75th and UCD in 98th place.
