🇮🇪🏴🛰️🚀 A very exciting day for the space sector in Ireland as we welcome Minister @nealerichmond and our Scottish space counterparts to UCD to discuss #growingtogether and the lessons Ireland can take from the highly successful Scottish space sector. Strong consensus this morning on: · The vital role played by research in the Scottish space story · How strong interconnectedness between academia, industry and government in Scotland has created a hugely productive environment · The potential for this approach to be applied successfully in Ireland. Great to partner with @UniStrathclyde and @scotgovIreland in this unique and hugely exciting event 🇮🇪🏴🤝 #irelandscotlandspace #growingtogether @ktmcnl @ucddublin @TrionaMcCormack Read more: ucd.ie/research/news/…



It was great to discuss the work we are doing in @UCD_Cspace @EIRSAT1 @astroucd with @esa Director of Science @CGMundell and colleagues from @esa @scienceirel @Entirl and government today. And to hear from so many astrophysics colleagues doing excellent research in Ireland.
