This lecture series is co-hosted by Trinity College Dublin and An Cosan, both active participants in the Academic Primary Care Centre located in Tallaght. This collaborative lecture series seeks to bring some of the academic staff of Trinity College to the local community in Tallaght to deliver high quality, accessible talks with a view to stimulating debate and community engagement on some of the hot topics of today! The events are open to everyone to attend, with limited numbers for on-site attendance but unlimited access online via Zoom. Please join us in these interactive events as we explore ways to engage in these topics outside the classroom.
