The University of Limerick campus

You might have seen this text - the HR department uses it whenever it publicizes job vacancies on various mailing lists:

The University of Limerick (UL) with over 11,000 students and 1,300 staff is a young, energetic and enterprising University with a proud record of innovation in education and excellence in research and scholarship. UL is situated on a superb riverside campus of over 130 hectares with the River Shannon as a unifying focal point. Outstanding recreational, cultural and sporting facilities further enhance this exceptional learning and working environment.
But the words are not enough to describe the place. So we thought of adding a few pictures:













This is the Computer Science building, where the main conference will take place.














And this is a view toward the Clare side of the campus - on the other side of the Shannon. What you can guess there is the Health Sciences building, but the focus here was really on the rainbow! No idea if there was any pot of gold at the end of it, we couldn't go searching, we're too busy here preparing the conference!
