Diverse Ireland – chances and challenges for minorities in society and the...
Event Information
Description
Ireland has become an increasingly diverse country over the last two decades, with 535,475 non-Irish nationals from 200 nations living in Ireland reported in the 2016 census. This increase in diversity goes hand in hand with many opportunities and challenges.
Women in Research Ireland invite you to join us for our ‘Seen and Heard’ lunchtime seminar with Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection, Regina Doherty. We will discuss challenges facing minorities in society and the workplace, and ways of building a fairer and more inclusive society.
This event will kick off at 1pm in the Paccar Theatre in Science Gallery Dublin. Tickets are free but we ask that you register in advance. If you have any alternative accessibility requirements (ISL interpretation, etc.), please notify us in advance at womeninresearchireland@gmail.com.
We look forward to seeing you there!

Women In Research Ireland is a group for women and other under-represented groups in research and academia in Ireland.
We aim to organise events that are accessible and inclusive:
We will provide physical access information about the venue on the event registration page. If you have additional access requirements (such as Irish Sign Language interpretation), please let us know at womeninresearchireland@gmail.com in advance of the event you wish to attend and we will try to facilitate these to the best of our ability.
All are welcome to our events and we do not tolerate discrimination based on sexuality, ethnic/cultural background, ability, socio-economic status, or any other characteristic. We strive to ensure that our events are always inclusive friendly spaces.
If you have any suggestions or feedback, or if you would like to get involved in future events (to help organise, or to volunteer as speaker) just get in touch! We would love to hear from you.
