UCD Hosts First C-NEWTRAL Doctoral Summer School
UCD recently hosted the first C-NEWTRAL Doctoral Summer School (1-5 September 2025), bringing together DCs, supervisors, partners and external experts for a week of training, collaboration, engaging talks and interactive workshops. The programme focused on Leadership & Innovation and Scientific Writing.
Study visits to Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council and the Liberties Community Project offered insights into how Dublin’s local authorities and communities are tackling sustainability and climate neutrality. Doctoral candidates also presented their research and received feedback from supervisors and external expert Prof. John Sweeney (ICARUS).
A big thank you to all speakers, partners, and participants and to our hosts at the Museum of Literature Ireland (MoLI) and the UCD Spatial Dynamics Lab for making the week a success!
