Engaging Communities for a Healthier Future

At UCD Conway Institute, we are passionate about the work that we do and the potential it has to positively impact on society. We believe that our research is more relevant when stakeholders are actively engaged in the process. Through engaging with patients, support-givers and the public, our research can reflect their valuable perspectives and is more likely to have a greater impact. Through engaging with teachers and pupils, researchers can help to ignite a spark of curiosity and raise aspirations of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) careers.

The storytelling was powerful and so emotional but the connection between the women was so moving. Your project has really inspired them so well done all of you. That’s true community development in action.
