Good Practice Symposium 2024

23 May 2024

Celebrating Excellence and Innovation across UCC

The second Good Practice Symposium took place on 23rd May, showcasing remarkable instances of good practice across education, training, research and professional support services at UCC. This event highlighted a variety of innovative practices and outstanding contributions from across the UCC community.

Each case study presented at the symposium aligned directly with one or more of the strategic goals outlined in UCC’s Strategy 2023-28: Securing our Future. The strong support from the UCC community made this event a fantastic opportunity to celebrate and share these exemplary case studies. 

The Symposium was opened by the President, Professor John O'Halloran, and attended by keynote speaker, Dr. Oliver Vettori from WU Vienna delivering a fantastic keynote speech.

The following were the recipients of well-deserved awards from the symposium:

  • Best Poster: ‘ASK UCC and Student Central', represented by Ciara Murphy, in collaboration with Michelle Higgins, Edward Kidney and Ciara Scanlan.
  • Best Presentation: 'Show them what you know:Community Engaged Learning (CEL) working towards a sustainable future' delivered by Dr. F. Jerry Reen (School of Microbiology), in collaboration with Dr. Niall O'Leary (School of Microbiology), Dr. Ruth Hally (CIRTL), Irene Ní Shúilleabháin (UCC Greenshoots), and India Murphy (Student partner).

We are pleased to announce that all posters will be uploaded to our website over the coming weeks.

Many thanks to all who contributed to making the Good Practice Symposium 2024 a memorable and impactful event.
