Innovation on Show at Inaugural TUS Research Awards
Congrats to all of the winners at TUS’s inaugural Research Awards held on the Thurles Campus.
The event recognised staff and students who have made outstanding contributions to research at TUS and was held as part of Connected Innovations, which featured interesting talks on social innovation, community support, and engagement.
The idea for the awards was an outcome of TU RISE, which has the express ambition to drive innovation and commercialisation opportunities through training and development opportunities for staff and students.
