Gender in STEM
We are dedicated to advancing gender equality by fostering an inclusive culture, supporting career progression for all genders, and addressing systemic barriers through initiatives, policies, and the Athena Swan framework.
Ethnicity & Refugee Support in STEM
EU Passworld: UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency in Ireland, Nasc, the Migrant and Refugee Rights Centre, and University of Galway are establishing the EU-Passworld project in Ireland.
