Every year the entire CCI team meet up to share best practise, network and complete training and upskilling. We also use the oppertunity to share strories and ideas from our travels around Ireland. It is also a great oppertunity to provide Science Communication training and make changes to the content and evaluation components of the CCI workshop.
Al of our preivous meetings have taken place in Trinity College Dublin in order to facilitate everyone travelling from Sligo and Cork. For our 2026 meeting, we decided to travel to a neutral location in the centre of Ireland! Thanks to the TCD School of Physics who hosted us at the Science Education Centre at iLOFAR in Birr Co. Offaly. Well done to everyone for travelling and for sharing best practise, and for engaging with all of the content.
Also, huge thanks to Fergus McAuliffe from the Trinity Research Office for his training on Logix models and to Elspeth Sinclair from the ICRAG research centre for her really great talk about her EPE work. We also recieved a wonderful tour of the iLOFAR radio telescope and historic Leviathan of Parsonstown from Conor.
