Presentation in UCD
As previously noted, I was in UCD yesterday. As well as meeting with some of the UCD Principal Investigators (PI) that I work with, I also gave a presentation on seeking SFI funding. The presentation was targeted at non-funded researchers (both tenured staff and non-tenured post-grad and post-doc students).
We got a turn-out of about 100-110 people, which was excellent. The downside of that, of course, is that if a large percentage of those who attended actally apply for funding, we’ll be swamped with work. Still, not a bad state of affairs.
The presentation took place in the newest building on the UCD campus, the Health Sciences building. The lecture theatre I presented in was huge—with a capacity for 350/400 people, so even the 100 or so that did attend it was mostly empty. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my camera, so I don’t have a picture of the venue itself, but I did find one of the outside of the building.
Next up on my round of Universities will hopefully be DCU, followed by Trinity (TCD). Dates for these presentations haven’t been fixed yet, but I will post details here when they are.
