SUMMARY:The Power Behind Irish Dairy Farms - BiOrbic at the National Dairy Show
DESCRIPTION:THE AXA NATIONAL DAIRY SHOW Friday 10th & Saturday 11th October \nOctober 11th & 12th at the Green Glens Arena\, Millstreet\, Co. Cork.  \nBiOrbic At the National Dairy Show \nJoin BiOrbic at their stand at the National Dairy Show to explore key initiatives for creating a more sustainable future for Irish dairy farming and Europe’s rural grasslands. The team\, featuring researchers like Phd Lia Freiatas\, is inviting farmers to participate in a survey to precisely measure their farms’ direct and indirect energy consumption. The goal is to pinpoint areas for significant energy savings by adopting more efficient practices. \nVisitors can also discover the innovative Rural BioReFarmeries project\, which is demonstrating a novel\, small-scale\, local green biorefinery facility. This farmer-led bioeconomy model is designed to boost rural resilience and sustainability by empowering farmers to transform grasses and other green. \nTickets and more information  for National Dairy Show can visited here : https://nationaldairyshow.com/ \nThe Survey for Dairy Farmers https://eu.surveymonkey.com/r/HL52WPM

SUMMARY:ATU Research Showcase series: Meet ATU’s Bioeconomy Innovators
DESCRIPTION:About the Digital Launch\nInterdisciplinary Research at ATU Powering Ireland’s Bioeconomy\nAtlantic Technological University (ATU) is proud to announce the launch of its new ATU\nResearch Showcase series. The first edition “Meet ATU’s Bioeconomy Innovators” will\ncoincide with Bioeconomy Ireland Week 2025 (13–19 October). The Showcase will consist of\na booklet publication\, developed by ATU’s new Research Coordinator team and funded\nthrough TU RISE\, highlighting the pioneering work of 12 researchers and innovators across\nATU who are shaping a more sustainable\, circular and resilient future. \n \n  \nFrom valorising waste into new value chains to reimagining farming systems and advancing\nsolutions in marine\, energy\, engineering\, food systems and nanotechnology\, the booklet\nillustrates how ATU research is delivering real-world impact for communities\, industries and\necosystems. \n“As Research Coordinators\, we see first-hand the breadth of expertise and commitment\nacross ATU\,” said Dr. Shane Conway and Dr. James Britton. “This campaign is about putting a\nspotlight on the people behind ATU’s bioeconomy research. By showcasing just a sample of\nour colleagues’ work\, we aim to strengthen ATU’s profile as a leader in this strategically\nimportant field\, and connect our researchers with partners across Ireland\, Europe and\nbeyond.” \nNational and European Collaboration\nAs the technological university for the west and north-west of Ireland\, ATU grounds its\ninnovation in regional and national priorities. Through alignment with the Northern &\nWestern Regional Assembly’s Smart Specialisation Strategy (S3)\, ATU contributes to\nstrengths in Agri-Food ; Agri-Tech\, the Marine & Blue Economy\, Renewable Energy &\nClimate Action\, and the Circular Economy transition\, while also connecting to emerging\nopportunities in biotechnology\, nanotechnology and digital transformation. \nATU’s role is further reinforced through participation in major national and European\ninitiatives. In July 2022\, ATU researchers Prof. Graham Heaslip\, Dr. Edna Curley\, Dr. James\nMoran; Dr. Trevor Clohessy became members of BiOrbic\, Ireland’s Research Ireland-funded Bioeconomy Research Centre\, a national collaboration of more than 100 researchers advancing the\ncircular bioeconomy through interdisciplinary academia–industry partnerships. At European\nlevel\, ATU researchers lead and contribute to Horizon Europe Cluster 6 and ERA-NET BlueBio\nprojects\, positioning the university as a bioeconomy hub on the Atlantic coast. \nShowcasing Interdisciplinary Expertise\nThe 12 featured researchers represent only a sample of ATU’s bioeconomy expertise. Their\nselection spans multiple campuses and faculties\, demonstrating the university’s\ninterdisciplinary strengths. Many other colleagues across ATU are also making significant\ncontributions to the bioeconomy\, and their work is equally valued. \nFeatured Researchers and Areas of Expertise\nThe featured researchers include experts in areas such as : \n\nCircular economy and renewable energy (Leo Murray\, Mel Gavin\, Prof. Upaka\nRathnayake\, Dr. Yan Jiang)\nMarine biotechnology and aquaculture innovation (Dr. Nicolas Touzet\, Dr. Colin\nHannon)\nSustainable construction and resource efficiency (Dr. Conan O’Ceallaigh\, Dr. Mark\nKelly)\nFood innovation and cultural acceptance of novel proteins (Dr. Maria Dermiki)\nNanotechnology for clean fuels (Prof. Suresh C. Pillai)\nDigital transformation and blockchain (Dr. Trevor Clohessy)\nSensor technology for agriculture and peatland restoration (Dr. Denis McCrudden)\n\n \nBuilding a Sustainable Future Through Collaboration\nTogether\, these innovators demonstrate how ATU research contributes to Ireland’s\nbioeconomy transition\, while connecting the university’s expertise to global sustainability\ngoals. In addition to its research and innovation efforts\, ATU’s commitment to sustainability is\nreinforced through its role in the EU GREEN European University Alliance\, a network of nine\nEuropean universities dedicated to advancing sustainability\, innovation\, and societal\nresponsibility. This campaign not only connects researchers and innovators across ATU’s\ncampuses\, but also strengthens links with colleagues across the EU GREEN alliance and the\nwider international bioeconomy community\, fostering collaboration\, visibility and impact inone of the most strategically important fields for our shared future. \nBooklet link https://www.atu.ie/news/atu-research-showcase-meet-our-bioeconomy-innovators \n
