Earth Institute International Women's Day Research Celebration

• Thursday 6th March 15.00 - 16.30
• Room Q118 Quinn School of Business

Would you like to learn more about how to include gender in your research design and implementation? Research funding agencies require all proposals to identify gender dimensions in the research content, across all disciplines. UCD Earth Institute is delighted to mark International Women’s Day with this celebration of gender through sharing of research case studies. The event will be opened by Professor Orla Feely, UCD President, followed by a short talk by Dr Marion Boland, Head of Research Policy at Research Ireland on the gender dimension of research content: a Research Ireland funding and policy context. We will then explore case studies from UCD researchers who have successfully incorporated research into their projects, and invite all researchers to consider potential directions to uncover gender dimensions of their own research.
