Our event will run over 3 hours on Saturday 11th July and will involve 12 female scientists speaking to members of the public about their work (as well as approximately 12 volunteers). The participants will be from University College Dublin, Trinity College Dublin and Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland.
We do want to assure you that we will of course follow the governments advice on COVID-19 to stay safe. In the event that we cannot proceed with the event in the normal format we are considering a switch to an online alternative. As the event is scheduled in July, we will await to make a final decision in May but for now, we will proceed as planned.
Sponsors
We couldn’t run this event without the generous logistical and financial support of our sponsors. University College Dublin
