Visit the UNIC Photo Display in the Hub Atrium
23 Feb 2026
UCC staff and students are invited to view the shortlisted entries of the UNIC photo competition currently on display in the Hub Atrium and to cast their vote for their favourite photograph. A display of the shortlist was opened today by the Director for UNIC at UCC, Dr Jean van Sinderen-Law and will be in place until March 6th. Jean was joined by the UNIC student representatives, Margarita Linetska and Sadhbh Tierney, whose leadership and initiative brought this competition and exhibition to life.
The competition saw 40 submissions, and a shortlist of 12 photographs is on display and waiting for
UCC staff and students to cast their vote. A QR code is available throughout the display which will run until March 6th. The display is a vivid reminder of how central students are to UNIC, not only as key beneficiaries of UNIC's work but also as co‑creators, partners, and leaders in shaping the alliance.
As Ireland prepares to assume the Presidency of the Council of the European Union from July to December 2026, UCC and UNIC's role within that community, and our students’ engagement with European identity and citizenship, feels especially meaningful.
