UCC, as the only Irish university with official observer status at the United Nations COP26 conference, sent a delegation of researchers and students to the global summit in Glasgow in November. The delegation made a decision to travel by boat, train and electric car rather than flying, which has a much greater carbon footprint per passenger.

Brian Corbett, a world-leading researcher from Tyndall National Institute, UCC and IPIC, the SFI Research Centre for Photonics, has been awarded the 2021 Institute of Physics Katharine Burr Blodgett Medal and Prize.

LISTEN: UCC STEM researchers talk about spinning out their projects from the lab to the market and how they are poised to bring local solutions to global issues across healthcare and sustainability.

Congratulations to our College of Science, Engineering and Food Science researchers who feature in a global list of the top 1% of the world’s most influential scientific researchers.

Professor Séamus Davis, who leads a pioneering quantum research programme at University College Cork (UCC) and the University of Oxford, has made another major advance in the study of quantum materials.
