Research Together 2024: Building Relationships and Partnering on Health-focused Research and Grants

Maynooth University Research Development Office in collaboration with Health Research Charities Ireland and The Wheel.

Purpose: To foster and build relationships between MU researchers and charitable organisations to co-develop and partner on future National and Horizon Europe research grant applications in the health space.

Overview:

Session 1: Provides an opportunity for health charities and community organisations to communicate their research needs to the MU research community, with presentations outlining what a good research partnership and meaningful PPI in research is, from their perspective. MU Researchers will present on research interests/expertise and opportunities for collaboration.

Session 2: Attendees will hear about National and European funding opportunities from the HRB and our National Representative for Health research, Horizon Europe.

Session 3: Attendees will engage in a Collaborative Design Thinking session, with the goal to identify actionable challenges that can form the basis for future funded collaborative projects between charity partners and Maynooth University researchers.

Our third Research Together event builds on the success of previous year's events by taking past attendees feedback on board.

This event is a great opportunity to connect across the University and Charity sectors, build relationships, and find potential partners to co-develop research projects, submit grant applications and pursue impact together!
