Chemical and Physical Sciences
Computer Science Community - Encouraging Collaboration and Innovation
Welcome to the Chemical and Physical Sciences CoP!
This is a dedicated virtual space for the Chemical and Physical Sciences CoP, which is part of the HEA funded National Digital Learning Resources (NDLR) service.
For anyone new to the service, the HEA is funding Irish universities and Institutes of Technology to develop a shared digital resource bank for teaching and learning materials, to be accessible to all staff in the partner institutions.
The NDLR is also providing infrastructure to foster collaboration and support different academic subject networks – these communities are called Communities of Practice.
