Tom has a degree in Engineering from Trinity College Dublin, a Graduate Diploma in Business Studies from University College Dublin, and a Graduate Diploma in Technical Communication from the University of Limerick. He has worked for a number of years in the IT industry for companies such as EDS, IBM and SAP. The LRC welcome him aboard!

The University of Limerick was the venue for LRC Summer School 2005, the 5th such event run by the LRC, which took place from the 13th to the 16th of June. It covered all aspects of localisation and internationalisation as well as featuring contributions from TILP experts on the realities of working in the localisation industry. Attendees came from as far afield as India and America (North and South) with Continental Europe and Ireland also represented.

In a departure from the format of previous years, the core of Summer School 2005 was composed of two one-day courses on Localisation and Internationalisation that were developed ‘in-house’ by the LRC. These courses aimed to give participants a practical introduction to the work that takes place when preparing a software product for release into an international market.
