The Future of Construction Innovation in Ireland
The UCD Engineering Graduates Association invites students, graduates and construction industry professionals from all disciplines to attend an evening event at which a panel of experts will present insights into the coordinated developments that are going on behind the scenes to bring innovation to the construction sector in Ireland.
