The main aims of club are to find easier ways, faster ways, more reliable ways, cheaper ways of diagnosing cancer that are minimally invasive. One or two people will get cancer in their lifetime, so being able to detect that earlier through the use of. With perhaps he would be a massive, massive with advance, we wanted to bring together all the researchers in Ireland, both North and South, who are actually working on blood diagnosis of cancer. So our hope is that the liquid biopsy, a simple blood sample being taken is that they'll pick up all of the information collectively. We had a expertise and diseases such as ovarian cancer, triple negative breast, pancreatic and lung cancer. For most of those cancers, they tend to be diagnosed very, very late. Can we detect these cancers earlier and actually treat them better? Cross-border research at third level. It's critically important going forward because it allows us all on this small island to work together. The Carton project looks at how cold the SOLU dealt with the issue of the Irish language after partition and had used different media to address the issue and to keep the language question very much alive from the very beginning. Conor McGregor. We're actively campaigning for the rights of Irish language speakers throughout the country to have appropriate representation on television. You have these new forms of of medium coming to the fore right in the Gulf in 1972. The. Foundation of Tina G in 1996 two different governments would look at the language, one would trade a champion it they all own would do the absolute opposite. So it was really important that we looked at how the Irish language responded to this. There's no way of understanding coming Vega as an organisation without engaging with it as a 32 county body. To have research done on them only within one or the other jurisdiction would effectively be only telling half the story would be like reading, you know, every other page. Of the book. The Wobble Project is concerned with documenting and uncovering the hidden experiences of women's everyday life living in and around the Borderlands, and up until now, this is a story that really hasn't been seen or told. We know from looking back 100 years ago when the border was first created, that women's stories were often excluded or marginalized or perhaps not considered important. And it's thanks to the work of feminist historians today primarily, that we are now gathering up women's experiences. What we would hope that would emerge from this project would be a real understanding, not just for academics but for members of the public, that the border. Is very much a tangible, real policing mechanism in the lives of some women. The North Side Research program is a very, very unique and special program because it is funding research across all disciplines. And I think that research capacity that people development that impact on on teaching and learning happening on an all Ireland basis is something really, really valuable and really important that this project is delivering. I think the North Side Research program has been very, very inspirational for us. I don't think it's something that we individually would have been able to do. The importance of it is that. That brings together fragmented research across the island of Ireland. cross-border research is absolutely vital as we all live on the same island. We're the same people. Just because there's a border there doesn't mean that the approach to the language should be any different. There is no chance that this project could have taken place without the support of the HOA and the north-south Research Program.
