Research Assistant STRIDE: Monitoring and Evaluation Officer
Atlantic Technological University, alongside a consortium of key partners, has been awarded €3.5 million in PEACEPLUS funding to launch the Smart Rural Innovation Driven Empowerment (STRIDE) programme, supported by PEACEPLUS, a programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB). The initiative, designed to address the unique challenges faced by rural communities, brings together Alacrity, Atlantic Technological University, Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, Leitrim County Enterprise Fund, and Ulster University. STRIDE will operate out of two key innovation hubs-The Workhouse in Enniskillen and The HIVE in Carrick-on-Shannon. With a team of specialist staff embedded within rural communities across Fermanagh, Tyrone, Leitrim, and Sligo, the programme aims to empower local citizens by using cutting-edge digital technologies to tackle societal and economic challenges. The ultimate goal of STRIDE is to enhance the quality of life in rural areas, enabling more effective delivery of social and economic services while promoting long-term community sustainability. The STRIDE Project Monitoring and Evaluation Officer will be responsible for coordinating the monitoring and evaluation function on behalf of ATU's role as a partner in this PEACEPLUS funded project. This will involve guiding project management activities throughout, thus ensuring outcomes and results are captured, understood and used to inform the implementation process, enabling project refinement where necessary, towards full achievement of the proposed benefits. This individual will develop M&E processes that will seek to track and record the achievement of quantitative and qualitative targets relating to individual participants' indicators and the overall impacts.
