High-quality early childhood education and care (ECEC) benefits children, families, and society; conversely, poor-quality ECEC provision results in poorer outcomes for children and poses risks to their well-being and development. As Ireland sees record levels of investment and spending in ECEC, government must ensure public spending results in high-quality provision that benefits children, families, and society. This project will build the capacity of an interdisciplinary research team from acro

While generative AI offers opportunities to enhance democratic processes, it also presents numerous risks to democracies. This project seeks to mitigate the harmful societal impacts of the digital transition by understanding and countering dis/misinformation from a comparative European perspective, with a specific focus on medium-sized and minority languages, particularly Irish. By bringing together sociolinguists, computer scientists and other stakeholders, this project aims to open up a space

Research suggests that there may be up to three dyslexic students in every classroom. In order for teachers to effectively identify and teach these learners, they need to have an accurate understanding of dyslexia. However, it is unclear if Irish teachers have this necessary knowledge. In partnership with the Dyslexia Association of Ireland, Irish teachers' knowledge of dyslexia will be determined by gathering survey and focus group data from teachers working in a representative sample of primar

Minor placenames are an integral component of our intangible cultural heritage that strengthen cultural identity and place attachment at individual, group and community levels. This interdisciplinary project will devise a series of guides and workshops to promote and facilitate a citizen humanities approach to the collection of minor placenames in Ireland. The existing network of local heritage officers will play a pivotal role in promoting this at a local level amongst interested individuals an

How to foster engagement with climate issues and promote pro-environmental behaviour remains a central challenge of climate policy-making and environmental advocacy efforts. Current approaches focus on raising climate awareness and incentivising climate-friendly behaviour, such as the carbon tax. However, these approaches underestimate the role of emotions in how people relate to the renewable transition. This oversight undermines the potential to engage people for pro-environmental behaviour an

Censored for their work by repressive regimes, more journalists have been forced to report from exile in the last few years than ever before. Crucial to ensuring access to information in authoritarian countries, they are vulnerable to digital security threats from hostile actors because they must communicate digitally with their sources, audiences and with each other. Exiled journalists and various experts will be consulted in this project to identify and report the problems they face in protect

This project addresses the information deficit faced by residential licensees in Ireland’s rental sector. Licensees are individuals renting a room from an existing tenant. Many of them lack understanding of their rights, obligations, and recourse to justice, making them vulnerable to rental exploitation. Taking an active approach regarding the principle of empowerment through knowledge, the project aims to raise awareness of licensees’ rights, enhance rental policies, and improve access to justi

Amidst the widespread roll-out of renewable energy, the work associated with infrastructural repair, decommissioning and waste largely remains under-considered. This project will investigate repair and recovery work associated with Ireland’s renewable energy infrastructures. It will map current approaches and identify circular and community economy opportunities within the sector. Undertaken in partnership between Dublin City University (DCU) and the Rediscovery Centre (RDC), the project will un

According to existing data, people in Northern Ireland are far more likely to experience corruption and believe that it is widespread than people in Great Britain. However, we lack data to make comparisons between Ireland and Northern Ireland. Such data is essential for informed decision-making in the context of cross-border cooperation and investment, and the ongoing conversation about unification. We will conduct an all-island representative survey to understand the extent and causes of corrup
