It is with great pleasure that we present the proceedings from the
“Enhancing Academic Integrity: From Ideas to Action” conference, hosted
by CCT College Dublin on 3rd and 4th September 2024. This collection
represents the culmination of thoughtful discourse, innovative research, and
collaborative spirit that defined our gathering.

This resource captures key insights from a full-day workshop held on 8 May 2025, hosted by the Higher Education Authority (HEA) and led by internationally recognised expert Dr Alison Cook-Sather. The event focused on the transformative potential of authentic student-staff partnerships as a strategic approach to advancing student engagement, success, and institutional effectiveness.

Attended by academic staff, institutional leaders, student success professionals, and sector partners from across Ireland, the workshop featured a combination of keynote presentations, lightning talks, and interactive sessions. Through real-world examples and hands-on activities, participants explored how to build meaningful, inclusive, and sustainable collaboration between students and staff.
