On 22 October, we welcomed over 80 research staff to our biggest Research Staff Network social event yet at the University of Galway! πŸŽ‰

From spooky Celtic storytelling with the wonderful Rab Fulton and networking bingo to Halloween arts & crafts, pizza, sweet treats and traditional barmbrack, the evening was all about creativity, connection and community! πŸ‘»πŸ•

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and made the evening so special! πŸ’œ

At the heart of the Research Staff Network is bringing people together, supporting research staff and building a strong sense of community and belonging across the University.
