This year the National Academy for the Integration of Research & Teaching & Learning (NAIRTL) introduced a programme of awards honouring exemplary teachers who are also innovative researchers in higher education in Ireland.
Teaching and research are both central to the role of academic staff, and excellence in teaching and in creative and scholarly work go hand in hand. The NAIRTL Awards aim to acknowledge and reward academic staff that are successful in uniting these two roles. The awards are intended to recognise teaching accomplishments and to promote public recognition and celebration of the teaching profession.
Nominations were invited from the NAIRTL partner institutions, (CIT, NUIG, TCD, UCC and WIT). The standard of applications received was very high and the selection committee had a difficult task as only five awards would be made nationally. Congratulations to the UCC team nomination for Angela Flynn, Irene Hartigan, Siobhán Murphy and Nuala Walsh, School of Nursing and Midwifery, who were selected for an award.
The awards ceremony will be held later this year. For details of all award recipients nationally check out the NAIRTL website http://www.nairtl.ie/index.php?pageID=68
From 2009 it is envisaged that this initiative will be open to all higher education institutions in the Republic of Ireland.
Picture shows award winners L-R: Angela Flynn (MSc PG Dip Ed BSc RGN); Nuala Walshe (Dip in Higher Education, RN, MN) Clinical Skills Manager, Siobhán Murphy (MSc BSc RNT RGN), and Irene Hartigan (MSc RNT, Dip in H&S, BSc RGN), College Lecturers at the Catherine McAuley School of Nursing & Midwifery, University College Cork.
