PhD Students Ireland

A place for PhD students from all backgrounds studying in Ireland to share and connect!

[PhD Students Ireland @PhDStudentsIrl]

Hi guys! I am a first year PhD student in Dublin struggling to make connections in this academic world so I decided to create a space where people can connect and share work/ideas/thoughts/memes. The end goal would be to organise meetups!

"Everyone deserves a living wage for the work they do & make no mistake, we are working everyday." Postgraduate workers in #Galway & across Ireland are calling for #EqualPayforEqualWork & recognition of worker status #PGRsDeserveBetter @uniofgalway @DeptofFHed @SimonHarrisTD

[PWO UCC @PWO_UCC]

The Irish weather did not stop us from demanding for what we deserve! Living wage, workers rights, residency rights for non-EU researchers 🙌🏼#PGRsDeserveBetter #ResearchIsWork

[PhD Students Ireland @PhDStudentsIrl]

Reminder that marches will be taking place across the country tomorrow to advocate for our rights!

The blatant and unapologetic discrimination on show here is absolutely disgraceful. It is completely unacceptable and @MaynoothUni must take action to address this.

The recent PhD review suggested that govt. funded PhD stipends are increased to 25K from September.
Despite contacting the SFI and IRC multiple times, we've been met with radio silence.
HELP us break this silence by signing the petition below.
