The safety and wellbeing of our community is our priority. We continue to follow the advice of the HSE, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Department of Education and Skills about ongoing protective measures against the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).
GMIT staff are contributing to the fight against COVID-19 in many ways. They are working in the contact tracing centre in our Galway campus, producing vital equipment and PPE materials, and have developed a low-cost emergency ventilator for use in the fight against COVID-19.
