Brown was founded in 1764 as the College in the English Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations (more commonly known as Rhode Island College) in Providence, Rhode Island. A private, research university, it is the seventh-oldest institution of higher education in the United States and a distinguished member of the Ivy League. It was founded, at the outset, as a university unlike many of their peer schools who were initially preparatory schools which became colleges. Brown its charter to Ezra Stiles who would go on to become one of Yale’s most famous Presidents and to the Baptist community of Rhode Island who sought an institution at which its members could study and practice their faith free from persecution. Whilst Brown was established explicitly as a school which would admit students regardless of their religious background (which at the time was a rather a reference to whichever Protestant church a student may hail from), the Baptists of the Rhode Island were concerned that they did not have a tertiary level institution of their own, or at the very least, one which would not discriminate against admitting them. Thus, Brown had a reputation as being a Baptist school although the school is very much non-sectarian today. The university was initially based in Warren, a town south of Providence, before Moses Brown donated some of his family’s lands to the college to support its relocation in 1770. It is for him and his family that the college was renamed in 1804 following a further donation to support the school’s endowment.

Established in 1754 as King’s College by Royal Charter issued by King George II, Columbia University in the City of New York is a private, research-intensive university offering degree programmes from undergraduate to post-doctoral level. Located in uptown Manhattan’s Morningside Heights, Columbia is an academic powerhouse with a global renown. As the oldest institution of higher learning in New York State and the fifth oldest in the United States, Columbia’s story is deeply intertwined with the birth of the nation – originally located in a small schoolhouse in lower Manhattan, its purpose was to train the future leaders of the British colonies but instead produced many of the revolutionary heroes of American independence with alumni including Founding Fathers: Alexander Hamilton, John Jay and Gouverneur Morris. Maintaining its tradition as an educator of American leaders, the college counts three former Presidents amongst its alumnus and another as a former President of the University. The university changed its name to Columbia College following the War of Independence and to reflect its patriotism to the republic and moved to its uptown location in 1897.

INNOVATION ALLIANCE: A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN DUBLIN’S BIG TWO UNIVERSITIES

The Innovation Alliance was a collective research initiative between Ireland’s two leading Universities: Trinity College Dublin (The University of Dublin’s only constituent college) and University College Dublin. The alliance built upon the extremely successful research and incubation hubs that each university had developed separately with the view to harnessing their combined expertise and, by working with the government and key strategic business partners, attracting significant investment into Ireland. In addition, the Innovation Alliance would allow both universities to collectively attract research funding and to share resources to significantly increase research output and to further academic research in Ireland.
