A huge day for @RIU_UL celebrating our incredible colleague Dr. @_Alice_Shannon on her Graduation. Alice has been an integral part of our journey for the last 5 years, and we couldn't be more proud of her achievements in that time!
Congratulations to Dr Alice Shannon (School of Design), Dr Vedant Modi (School of Engineering) and Dr Charlie O'Mahony (@PhysicsDeptUL ) who were conferred with their PhDs yesterday afternoon. Pictured with their Supervisors @UL Looking forward to our next ceremony today!

Not our usual application of #3Dprinting , but a fantastic project to be involved in! @Confirm_Centre @UL_Research @UL @HuntMuseum
We've been working on a very special project lately with persons with visual impairment. Our co-creators worked alongside docent volunteers to establish an archive of audio descriptions of some of our favourite objects from the collection. More info👉bit.ly/3QeGIaY

It's only setting in now, but here's our very own Dynamic Duo @Aidan_RIU and @siobhan_riu after winning the overall national @programmspark Ignite award at the #SparkSummit23 yesterday! A perfect example of how #collaborative #design creates amazing solutions to everyday needs!

Often in cases where there is no commercialisation thus business cases but these workarounds designs fit the needs! So valuable to these individuals with specific individual challenges. Wow! @RIU_UL #SparkSummit23

Our own @corkman1989 seems to have gone down well at this years #sparksummit! Well done! @ProgrammeSpark
Amazing presentation by Dr Kevin O'Sullivan from @RIU_UL and how 3D printing allows for creation of devices and aides for patients that have a need that impacts their quality of life but there isn't a commercial market. Those people still deserve a solution.Brilliant examples 👏
