An exciting initiative to introduce female-identifying school (Senior Cycle) and university students to Earth Sciences and demonstrate the world of careers open to geoscience graduates today.
Girls into Geoscience - Ireland is proud to announce the launch of a new strand to its programming! This is the opportunity to organise a career talk with a number of inspirational geoscientists across the island of Ireland!
How does it work?
Below you'll find a 'menu' of our geoscience experts who would love to come and talk to you or your class about their careers. Simply click on a potential speaker to read more about them, or peruse the full list of bios and then contact us to set up a talk from one or more of our fab line up!
The talks will be organised at a time and in a place that suits you and the speaker(s). If your speaker is local to you, they may be able to come and speak at your school/public event. If not, this will be set up virtually. In person talks will be arranged subject to the current government COVID policies.
To book a talk by one or more of our experts, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
