Inspiring day at the @yai.ie ‘s “evidence for policy summit” with a big focus on how early career researchers fit into the system across the island, with a focus on sustainability and a fair and inclusive society. Big thanks to Johnathan Dalzell from DAERA coming down from NI.

The manuscript of the week is the Book of Uí Mhaine, RIA MS D ii 1. Written around 1394, this manuscript is a large vellum book, and was probably planned as a prestige manuscript, designed to impress those who saw it.

Applications to the @yai.ie open soon. I would recommend eligible Irish-based scholars to apply, this is not only a formative experience (and you get to meet nice people!) but we are also trying to use our voices to advocate for better research practices and career development in Ireland.
The next call for applications for new YAI members will open on 18 July 2025.
If you're an ECR or innovator passionate about shaping the future of academia, culture & society on the island of Ireland, we encourage you to apply
