RPS in Ireland
Making a Difference
RPS strives to make a positive difference to the society in which we live and operate our business. We support a number of charities, primary and secondary schools and small sporting clubs in our local area.
Through our involvement with Professional Institutions we regularly donate our services and provide funding for non-profit activities; these include Engineers Ireland, the BITCI schools partnership and the RPS Scholarship programme, which is a partnership with the third level institutions in Ireland (UCC, UCG, UCD and Trinity College Dublin) and provides funding to Masters level students to pursue studies in engineering related disciplines.
RPS also sponsors the Gold Medal for the top Civil Engineering students at UCD, Trinity College Dublin and the Centre for Talented Youth programme. We sponsor bursaries at the School of Spatial Planning at Dublin Institute of Technology. We offer prizes to Students in the disciplines of Manufacturing, Biomedical and Facilities Engineering with Cork Institute of Technology and through the ISA (Instrument Society of America - Irish Branch) jointly through the Cork Institute of Technology, the Dublin Institute of Technology and the Carlow Institute of Technology.
Charities supported include Cancer Care Ireland, The Samaritans, Habitats for Humanity, the National Council for the Blind, Concern, Barnardos, the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, the Royal National Lifeboat Institute (RNLI) and the Temple Street Children's Hospital.
Since 2007 RPS offer a North/South Scholarship each year in partnership with Universities Ireland (QUB, Ulster, Trinity, Maynooth, DIT, DCU, UL, UCD, UCC and NUIG) and the Irish Business and Employers Confederation (IBEC)/ Confederation of British Industry (CBI - NI).
This enables a primary degree student from either jurisdiction to pursue a postgraduate course in the other jurisdiction between any of the 10 colleges in question.
