Evaluating the Sustainability of Rosslare Europort: Strategies for Green Innovation and Resilience

This Student Research Hub will focus on assessing the sustainability practices and strategic developments at Rosslare Europort, leveraging its transformation under the Port Masterplan as a case study. Students will evaluate key aspects such as infrastructure modernisation and the port’s digitalisation into a smart port. The programme will include an on-site visit, where students will learn about the port’s masterplan, observe active developments, and engage with stakeholders.

The students will collaboratively scope projects, analyse sustainability reports, and propose actionable strategies in alignment with global ESG frameworks (e.g., GRI, SASB, TCFD). Deliverables will include a detailed sustainability evaluation report and presentations summarising findings and recommendations.

This programme is designed to foster essential skills, such as research, critical thinking, and stakeholder engagement. It will also provide students with practical insights into sustainable business strategies.
