We are delighted to share that the outreach work of the Nanoscale Function Group was highlighted at the first Widening Participation Outreach Good Practice Showcase Event, held on May 7th, 2026, at the Access & Lifelong Learning Centre in University College Dublin.
It was a privileged moment for us to see our outreach initiatives recognised alongside the fantastic work being carried out across the different schools and groups within UCD. The event celebrated efforts to widen participation in science and higher education, while encouraging engagement with students from diverse backgrounds.
A special thank you to Niamh O Sullivan for shining a light on the outreach activities organised by members of the Nanoscale Function Group. We are excited to continue creating opportunities that inspire curiosity, inclusion, and the next generation of scientists. We look forward to continuing our outreach efforts and inspiring the next generation of scientists through meaningful and inclusive engagement activities. (Michelle & Waseem)
