Our pubic engagement activities are back for 2024 with two events in March. First up we had the Lifetime Lab Engineers Open Day on Sunday, 3rd March. This was led by Bláithín from Trinity College Dublin (TCD) who trained and coordinated a team of three researchers from UCC and Tyndall.
Then we went straight into one of our largest public events of the year with the ESB Science Blast in the RDS in Dublin from the 4th to the 7th of March. Day one and two were led by Bláithín and Susie from TCD, while day three and four were led by Nishanth and Keerthi from ATU Sligo. We had a mixture of researchers from TCD, ATU Sligo and UCC over the course of the four days.
Also, day four is a special Irish language day! A few of our researchers engaged through Irish, while we also had our new Irish poster on display and available for teachers to take away with them. We met over 1000 people in 5 days across both events! Well done to all of our researchers who gave up so much of their time and travelled across the country in many cases!
