Climate Change and Ireland Invitation for postgraduate and early stage researcher presentations Enlighten us, but make it quick. Following its successful launch in 2015, the 2nd annual NUI Galway Climate Congress takes place on Tuesday, April 5th in Áras na MacLéinn, NUI Galway. This year’s theme is “Climate Change and Ireland” and will feature three prominent speakers: Prof. Peadar Kirby (University of Limerick) Emer Cosgrove (Climate Talk Ireland) James Nix (Green Budget Europe) In addition to our expert speakers, this year we are hosting a competition for postgraduate and early stage researchers to showcase their research. Instead of a boring poster or long, drawn-out talk we want you to give an Ignite talk. What is an Ignite talk? An Ignite talk consists of 20 slides The slides automatically advance every 15 seconds Meaning you have 5 minutes to present your research The theme for the Ignite talk is “New voices in Climate Change research”. Tell us about your research, enlighten us, but make it quick. See http://www.ignitetalks.io/ for inspiration. The prize for the best talk will be a certificate of your achievement plus €100! If you wish to enter please send a brief outline of your research plus the topic of your presentation to [email protected].
