               is very proud of its many achievements and successes.  We recognise and acknowledge that these achievements would not 
               have been possible without the commitment and dedication of all our staff. 
                
               The Athlone Institute of Technology Strategic Plan 2019 – 2023 “A Technological University for the Region”, was launched 
               in September 2019.  The success of the Institutes Strategic Plan can only be accomplished with a strong sense of shared 
               ownership amongst all members of the Institute community. 
                
               Our HR Strategy “Building a Technological University Together”, has been developed to support the key priorities as 
               outlined in the Institute Strategic Plan 2019 – 2023, in which every member of the Institute is enabled to achieve their full 
               potential:
