Later this year, the Institute of Art, Design, and Technology (IADT) will host a pivotal Research Showcase on its campus, marking a key moment for the Irish research community ahead of the establishment of Taighde Éireann – Research Ireland, Ireland’s new national research agency. The event will feature an exhibition of ongoing research through posters, demonstrations, and showreels, underscoring IADT’s contributions to national and European research agendas. This showcase is expected to draw executives from both Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) and the Irish Research Council (IRC), which are set to merge under Taighde Éireann.
