SUMMARY:Network Virtual Launch
DESCRIPTION:\n\nYou are invited to the online launch of the new All Ireland
  Technical Staff Network on Wednesday October 4th at 12.30. You can regis
 ter for the event here: https://qrco.de/beK4QH\n\n \n\nThe All-Ireland Te
 chnical Staff Network is a collaborative network of technical staff in hig
 her education and research on the island of Ireland. The network welcomes 
 technical staff\, whatever their job title\, from disciplines that include
  the arts\, engineering\, medicine\, science\, technology\, trades &amp\; 
 social sciences.\n\n \n\nThe Ireland and Northern Ireland higher education
  and research sectors benefit from a highly skilled and motivated technica
 l workforce. Yet\, for too long their technical expertise has been hidden 
 away. We aim to shine a light on the critical role that technical staff pl
 ay.\n\n \n\nThe launch on October 4th will begin with introduction to the
  network by Dermot Barry (MTU) and Gillian Riddell (QUB).\n\n \n\nThe mai
 n talk on the history of technicians by Andy Connolly\, who will look at t
 he lives and work of three female technicians whose contribution to microb
 iology\, high energy physics\, genetics respectively are significant but m
 ostly forgotten. Together their lives span nearly 200 years and give us a 
 clear picture of how technician status and recognition has improved but al
 so where things haven’t changed as much as they might have.\n\n \n\nTher
 e will be time for some questions and discussion.\n\n
