The National Academy’s 3rd Annual Conference takes place on the 11-12 November 2009 in Trinity College Dublin. The theme of this year’s conference is “Research-Teaching Linkages: Practice & Policy” and we aim to uncover best practice in the development of research-teaching links and to identify potential policy supports to help shape these links.
The programme will feature keynote talks, invited papers, workshops, a poster session, and a panel discussion chaired by Dr John Bowman on the “role of national research funding organisations in shaping teaching and learning”. Panel members include Dr Eucharia Meehan, HEA, Dr Mairéad O’Driscoll, HRB, Ms Dipti Pandya, IRCHSS, Mr Martin Hynes, IRCSET, Professor Nicholas Canny, RIA, and Professor Frank Gannon, SFI.
