Dr Marguerite Nyan recognised at UCC's Research Excellence Awards
Dr Marguerite Nyhan, Academic Director of Sustainable Futures, was recognised at UCC's Research Excellence Awards recently. Dr Marguerite Nyhan won the Consultancy Project of the Year Award with her ground-breaking research with Microsoft Ireland.
This research aimed to assess how prepared Irish businesses are for the sustainability transformation including significantly reducing emissions by 2030 and becoming net zero by 2050. Microsoft Ireland sought out Dr Nyhan's leading sustainability expertise to research almost 400 businesses and large corporations in Ireland, publish a report, and deliver a keynote speech to 800 audience members at Microsoft's Envision conference at the Convention Centre in Dublin.
This work was featured widely on Irish media including RTE and the Irish Times. The School of Engineering & Architecture is absolutely delighted to see Dr Nyhan and her research recognised.
