Following the success of last Friday’s Culture Night, Trinity is set to open its doors to its laboratories and lecture theatres for Discover Research Dublin this Friday, 26th September, with up to five thousand people expected in attendance.
In accordance with European Researchers’ Night, this is the second consecutive year that Trinity and Royal College of Surgeons (RCSI) have allied in order to give the public an insight into the personalities and facilities that shape Irish investigative academia via interactive events, tours and talks.
“We’re very excited to have the unique opportunity to open the entire Trinity College campus to the public to showcase its innovative research and collaborate with RSCI’s lead researchers to bring this wonderful event together” said Kim Murphy, manager of the event. “We also encourage all students to the event, along with friends and family.”
Highlights of the exhibition, which features fifty free interactive events, include the opening of Trinity’s libraries to the public and the opportunity to meet the Arts and Humanities as well as Biochemistry and Immunology researchers in the Arts Building and Trinity Biomedical Sciences Institute respectively. A spotlight will be placed on Trinity medical graduates who fought in the First World War in the Anatomy Building, as well as a hands-on experience of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) which stimulate brain cells via weak magnetic currents.
Events run between 4pm to 9.30pm all over campus, with some internal event time variations. For more information, visit Discover Research Dublin.
