Nostalgia when we were reminiscing over a fantastic PhD-focused collaborative event where over 180+ PhD students came together to meet with industry and public agencies from across this island to get a sense of the real-world skills necessary to make it in today’s tech landscape.

The FPSS’24 event brought together over 180 PhD students with industry leaders and public agencies across Ireland. We thank Science Foundation Ireland and all our institutions for helping us make it happen, and we give great thanks to our kind industry members and partners who joined us on the day and gave their time.

The CRT programmes are designed to offer a solid support structure, opportunities for group learning, and the ability to go through the programme with a familiar group of individuals. With collaborative learning and milestone sharing, we hope these events help enhance the academic experience!
