Together with Kevin Daly and Fabrice Kämpfen, we have compiled key learnings from the workshop on narrative CVs, along with valuable resources, snippets, and examples, into a @yai.ie toolkit. You can download the document at: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... @gingerhowley.bsky.social @ria.ie

Fantastic workshop on Narrative CVs for ECRs, hosted by the Young Academy Ireland. Kudos to Kevin Daly (@gingerhowley.bsky.social) for coordinating the event. A follow-up online workshop is planned, and we’ll also publish a document with helpful resources. www.ria.ie/events/narra... @ria.ie

It is always more complicated to present yourself effectively as a researcher. Narrative CVs are an improvement from cold hard metrics, but they can be difficult to navigate. Very useful initiative and toolkit from my fellow @yai.ie members. Well done👏🏻 #research

www.ria.ie/2025/03/05/s... We were honored to co-host the "Science in Conflict Zones" roundtable with @ria.ie. Bringing together participants from sister academies, academic institutions, government departments, and NGOs, we explored support for scholars affected by conflict.

It was a real pleasure to represent the UK Young Academy at a roundtable discussion on 'Science in Conflict Zones' at the @ria.ie Royal Irish Academy yesterday, organised by the Young Academy Ireland @yai.ie (organisers featured in the photo). Inspiring and thought provoking discussion!

Today in the @irishtimes.com our exec member @deirdreflynn.bsky.social speaks about the challenges facing academia & what the YAI can do. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/educ...
