The annual Ireland Spring Conference event organised by Institute of Physics (IOP) will be held in Galway on 28th February and 1st March 2025. 

The theme of the conference will focus on Quantum celebrating the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. This event is ticketed and open to all members of the physics community and further afield.

Postgraduate students are invited to celebrate their research by entering the Rosse Medal science communication competition. The entrants will display their posters across the two days of the event. The competition is judged and the top 5 selected entrants will then be invited to present their poster and a short talk to the audience. The overall winner announced on Saturday afternoon will represent Ireland at the 3 minute wonder final. Two entrants from School of Physics, UCC are as follows:
