Hundreds of leaders from politics, policy, academia, and civil society across Ireland have converged for the Rethinking Growth Conference, a pivotal event aimed at redefining the role and nature of economic growth in Ireland. Held at Trinity College Dublin, the conference seeks to shift the focus from mere economic expansion to fostering a wellbeing economy that prioritizes the needs of people and the planet.

The study, published today in the journal Nanoscale, unveils for the first time how fluocerite, a rare mineral, rapidly forms and transforms into bastnäsite. The occurrence and origin of fluocerite in natural deposits were not fully understood, making it challenging for earth scientists to study this mineral in natural samples.

Abdulbaset Alazhare and Mairéad O Donnell from Trinity College Dublin are among the 21 Fulbright Irish awardees for 2024/25, honored this week at Iveagh House.

A new study led by Irish scientists has found giant Atlantic bluefin tuna are moving further north in response to marine heatwaves off the Irish coast.

This eggcellent discovery has the potential to make a significant impact in the sustainable recovery of rare earth elements (REEs), which are in increasing demand for use in green energy technologies.

Today marks a significant milestone in the commitment to sustainability education at Trinity. Prof. Jane Stout, VP for Biodiversity & Climate Action, and colleagues from various disciplines launched the first interdisciplinary initiative - Enacting Education for Sustainable Development.

Irish researchers involved in cataloguing the world’s plant species are hunting for answers as to what makes some groups so successful.

A pioneering programme has been nurturing the fusion of music and technology since 1996 – the MPhil in Music & Media Technologies (MMT). As Trinity College Dublin currently seeks applicants for this prestigious programme, it’s worth delving into the significance of Music & Media Technology to the Irish economy.

The successful dozen will lead or co-lead a total of 11 STEM-related research projects via Science Foundation Ireland - Frontiers for the Future programme, which is funded in collaboration with the Sustainability Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI).

Altach Biomedical Ltd, a medical device company supported by NLC Health Ventures and a spinout from Trinity College Dublin, has secured a €1.2 million investment to tackle the urgent need for better treatments for articular cartilage injuries, a significant contributor to osteoarthritis.

In a ground-breaking study, researchers from Trinity have unveiled that myriad, intricate factors influence the genesis and chemistry of bastnäsite and rare earth carbonates, which are critically needed for today’s tech industry and its hardware outputs.
