UL’s vice-president for research and innovation Prof Kevin Ryan discusses the university’s Changemakers initiative and what people can expect for Research Week 2026.
Every year, University of Limerick (UL) hosts a week-long event that highlights a variety of innovative research being carried out on its campus.
This year’s Research Week will begin next Monday (27 April), with numerous projects exploring areas such from sustainability to cancer research set to be presented to attendees on UL’s campus.
While the annual event is underpinned by UL’s ‘Wisdom for Action’ strategy – a five-year plan to build, support and boost the university’s research community – 2026 has also seen the introduction of a new initiative to expand its research ecosystem.
