Thanks to all the TDs who joined us for a conversation and panel discussion about the work of @QUBelfast on a cross jurisdictional basis. Great to speak about the role of the @ClimateCoCentre across the islands of Ireland and GB N-S & E-W @Researirel @daera_ni @UKRI_News
Big challenges need joined-up thinking. That’s why we held a series of events in Dublin yesterday, connecting researchers, innovators and bold ideas.
These events highlighted the transformative all-island impact we're making across #Climate research, #Healthcare, and business innovation.
At a showcase event in Leinster House, policymakers and academics came together to explore how collaborative, cross-border approaches can tackle some of the biggest challenges of our time – from creating a more sustainable future to ensuring equitable access to healthcare across the island.
These conversations were followed by our 'Innovation Without Borders' event at @RIAdawson. Minister for @DeptofFHed, @lawlessj delivered the keynote address which considered the ways in which all-island innovation could be further strengthened.
“#Healthcare, #ClimateChange, and #Economic prosperity are issues that touch lives in the present and have far reaching impacts well into the future. Our unique position within #NorthernIreland provides us with strong cross-jurisdictional links that enable us to deliver on government and industry priorities and collaborate on opportunities for the betterment of all across these islands.
“Initiatives such as the @foodcocentre offers a unique opportunity for multiple industry and academic partners to work together to transform food systems making a real difference to people across the island.” (Professor Sir Ian Greer, @QUBVChancellor).

This should be a really interesting evening. A few tickets remain at the door. (This is a cash only event as the card reader will be at a separate event) Hope to see lots of you there!
