Science Week is a national celebration of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths (STEM), featuring hundreds of events for all ages.

This year’s theme, Regeneration, invites people to reimagine how we engage with the world and strengthen our collective future.

“I’m delighted to see that many of the events in this year’s Science Week focus on Sustainability and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, which are central to MTU’s strategic objectives,” said MTU President, Professor Maggie Cusack.

“MTU is already a leader in Science education and research in the southwest, and this will be enhanced with the opening of our state-of-the-art STEM building ‘An Cuan’ on Kerry North campus next summer.”

Professor Joseph Walsh, Head of School of STEM at MTU, Director of the IMaR Research Centre and Science Festival Lead, expressed his gratitude for the staff and community of MTU who make Science Week possible: “The success of Science Week is driven by the dedicated STEM professionals at MTU, along with our strong community and business partnerships, who come together to deliver engaging and impactful activities each year. We’re incredibly thankful for their passion and commitment to promoting science to the public.”
