The SEFS鈥揟yndall New Connections Showcase 2026 took place at the Tyndall National Institute recently, bringing together researchers from across the College of Science, Engineering and Food Science (SEFS) and Tyndall to share ideas and spark future collaborations.
The event featured a series of flash presentations from recipients of the SEFS鈥揟yndall New Connections Grant, showcasing innovative research and highlighting the value of interdisciplinary partnership. Attendees also heard contributions from Prof. William Scanlon, CEO of Tyndall; Professor Sarah Culloty, Head of the College of SEFS; and Prof. Ger McGlacken, Vice Dean for Research, College of SEFS.
Co鈥慼osted by SEFS and the Tyndall National Institute, the event offered an excellent opportunity for researchers to connect, exchange insights, and celebrate the groundbreaking work emerging across the community.
The College of SEFS launched the New Connections initiative in 2022 to bring researchers together to address global challenges through collaborative approaches. This year鈥檚 SEFS鈥揟yndall New Connections Impact Event highlighted the outcomes of nine New Connections projects and two Catalyst projects, jointly funded by the College and Tyndall to seed and strengthen partnerships between Science & Engineering researchers and Tyndall experts.
These projects brought together participants from seven SEFS Schools across a diverse range of disciplines including Plant Science, Water Science, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Neuroscience, Statistics, Quantum Physics, Materials Science, and Microbiology, working alongside Tyndall specialists in fields such as electrochemical sensing, edge鈥慉I, biosensor development, nanoelectronic materials, photonics, and wearable sensors.
The impact of these collaborations is already evident, with new research directions emerging, summer interns progressing into PhD pathways, applications submitted to Research Ireland and EU funding calls, and the development of high鈥憄otential proof鈥憃f鈥慶oncept innovations.
