Dundalk Institute welcomes the French Ambassador

Dundalk Institute of Technology (DkIT) said they were delighted to recently host the French Ambassador and a delegation from the French embassy on campus.

DkIT President Dr Diarmuid O'Callaghan sincerely welcomed the French Ambassador Mr Vincent Guérend and his team who consisted of Delphine Tessier and Claire Godard.

The party met with French students studying in DkIT and Irish students who have travelled on Erasmus + programmes to France.  

The delegation was keen to meet with Dr Siobhan Jordan, Head of Department of Agriculture, Food and Animal Health to talk about academic collaborations with French universities who all run complimentary courses in agriculture, food and animal health. 

In closing, DkIT President Dr Diarmuid O’Callaghan also thanked the delegation for their visit, underscoring that the Institute is always there to assist, support and welcome both the Embassy and students from France.
