Motion Passed #IFUTADC2025

[IFUT @ifut]

Motions Passed!

Motion 1: Precarity
This ADC recognises an increase in the number of Researcher categories across HEIs where there is a lack of transparency surrounding pay scales and their alignment to national pay agreements. This ADC calls on IFUT to explore this issue and develop recommendations in line with the objectives of the union to challenge precarity and improve the terms and conditions of our membership.
Proposed by: UCC Branch

[Darren Fayne @fayned]

Denmark invests 2.9% of GDP in research; Ireland 1.2%. @Researchirel needs a large increase in funding @lawlessj @MichealMartinTD to make Irish research more competitive at an EU level @mleptin. "Fundable" research should not languish on a "reserve list" due to lack of funds

[Luke O'Neill @laoneill111]

Great interview with Maria Leptin, President of the European Research Council, who was in Dublin recently

I enjoyed our ⁦@DCU⁩ Spring Open Day, giving taste lectures about what our School have to offer, providing laboratory tours and answering questions from interested high school students and parents at the stand together with my colleagues and postgraduate students.

[Mark Lawler @QUBCancerProf]

Agree with @laoneill111 Our report @AlCRIproject supported thro @Inter_Trade highlighted how we need to double research spend relative to our GDP. Presented recently at event @MITMuseum in Boston where our call out for an All Island Oncology Innovation Cluster very well received

[Darren Fayne @fayned]

Yes. As Luke said, we're investing half of the European average in research.

[Liam Gallagher @WaterfordMafia]

This indeed is required to deal proactively with the potential challenge. We need a more resilient sector in the life sciences space in Ireland, all the way from discovery to manufacturing. Recent investments from ⁦@Researchirel⁩ #ERDF will help https://t.co/vuyUEqMc7a
