This conference brought together stakeholders in discussion focused on looking to the future for research and development and maximising its impact on the economy and society - particularly potential economic, social and health research impacts.
Attendees also looked at at how ties between business and third-level institutions can be strengthened and how opportunities for collaboration can be recognised and facilitated, particularly in identifying and addressing national challenges, as well as the future for developing and enhancing the networks of research centres. Discussion also considered both domestic and international partnerships, especially post-Brexit, looking at aligning principles and goals, and identifying market opportunities.
Further sessions addressed the development of research staff, including issues around diversity, career guidance, training and developing strong career pathways, as well as options for tackling funding and resource challenges for Irish universities.
