Biological Research Society (BRS)

Activities the Society organises and provides throughout the year for their members include, but are not limited to, seminars by visiting national and international academics, industry figures, and company sponsors. These seminars have allowed our members to interact with friends and supporters of the School; have facilitated many prosperous collaborations; and established strong links between those in similar fields.

The Society also organises other seasonal social events across the year such as the annual Halloween and Christmas parties, trips abroad to science festivals and centres, and regular sporting activities such as tag rugby and an annual sports day.   

The primary event each year is the Annual Research day; a conference run each year in DCU for members of the society. This event consists of poster and oral presentations, providing the Society¡¯s researchers the opportunity to share their work with their peers; interact with the commercial partners and sponsors; and also attend keynote lectures by invited national and international experts in relevant fields of research.

The Society are also heavily involved in community outreach, with an active collaboration with the Aisling Project; an after-school initiative in the Ballymun area for children deemed at risk. The Society often stage science demonstrations for the children who attend Aisling Project centres several times a year.
