National Public Events

Demonstrate and Promote Best Practice in International Added Value Relationships between Ireland North & South, the USA & Canada.

Atlantic Corridor has proven the value of strategic international linkages.

The network of high impact contacts, the flow of added value communications and the partnering projects and initiatives are already delivering results. The objective of our bi-annual National Public Events is to bring together evidence of this success, create a greater awareness of the possibilities, add a greater number of active interested parties in Ireland North and South, and thereby build further live international projects for business, education and local development practice.

Since 2008 we have undertaken a national confernece every year examining the theme of Science Education Promotion, addressing “the quiet crisis” in education which is being caused by the falling numbers of those choosing to study science subjects.

Events such as this also involve identified follow-on actions between partners, which is facilitated by Atlantic Corridor. Examples of such follow-on activity include projects as biotechnology classes for primary and secondary schools with the award-winning Mesa Biotech Academy, live weekly science classes between students in rural Ireland with reseachers in Georgia Tech, Atlantic and the development of a regional primary school science competition. More information on each of these initaitives and much more is available from info@atlanticcorrridor.ie
