I recently became Chair of the Irish Research Staff Association (IrishRSA), which represents research staff across the island of Ireland. My colleague Dr Rosarii Griffin and I had the chance to meet with Minister Simon Harris and his team at the Department of Further & Higher Education, Research, Innovation & Science.
The meeting was very
constructive, covering various topics affecting Irish research staff, with the
precarity of researcher careers being a key issue underpinning the discussion.
We discussed researcher representation
on decision making bodies, and the need for researchers to be consulted on the
content of the national Researcher Career Framework.
Another key point was the
importance of collating reliable data on researcher numbers & career
trajectories, which is required to inform policy with regard to research
careers.
We also discussed future research
policy, Horizon Europe, impacts of Brexit, UNESCO commitments and full-cost
extensions to projects interrupted by COVID-19. We look forward to continued
consultation with the Minister on these topics and to supporting the Irish HEI
research performing sector.
The IrishRSA consists of members
from TCD, UCC, UCD, NUIG, MU and RCSI but actively welcomes research staff from
all HEIs across the island of Ireland to contact us and join the association (irishrsa@gmail.com).
