Event Management
All events held on University of Galway campus must be planned, managed and delivered in accordance with the University's Event Management and Event Safety Policy (QA123).
An Event can be defined as any occasion of importance or significance involving the attendance of numerous people for a specific purpose related to university activity, business or community involvement. Events on campus assume many diverse forms including but not limited to: exhibitions, ceremonies, fairs, launches, receptions, state visits, festivals, commemorations, banquets, concerts, celebratory gatherings, conferences, open days, orientations, accreditations, summer schools, fundraising and sports or recreational events. Workshops and staff meetings are considered "business as usual" if being held in venues purpose built for such event types and require no setup arrangements through Buildings and Estates.
At the outset of planning an event, assign an Event Controller. This person will have ultimate responsibility for the management and safety of the event, and is responsible for all communication with Buildings and Estates.
