MaynoothSparks: A new normal? Research in the post-covid world – Thursday, 2pm – 3.30pm
A series of brief talks from MU academics and researchers about how research has changed in the aftermath of the pandemic. We are interested not only in how research @MU is relevant to the theme, but also (or instead!) thoughts on how the nature of research has changed – or ought to – in the post-covid era. The format this year gives exactly 6 minutes for each speaker to enthuse and inspire the audience of Maynooth staff, students and colleagues about research in the post-covid world. Each speaker’s presentation comprises 12 slides, and the event will be recorded. Please register here.
