All are welcome to the Nuffield Ireland 2025 Conference!

We invite Nuffield Scholars, colleagues, friends and anyone with an interest in the future of Irish agriculture to join us for our annual Nuffield Conference ‘Cultivating Opportunities from Obstacles‘

We will hear from our five 2024 reporting Scholars, in an event expertly facilitated to fully engage the audience. We will have discussion panels including Nuffield alumni experts to explore thoroughly the topics researched by our Scholars. We will get insights into the measurable impact the Nuffield journey has had on some of our alumni’s lives, careers and businesses.

We’ll conclude with a fireside chat featuring an outstanding leader in the environmental field. Laura Burke, Director General of the Environmental Protection Agency, will share her leadership journey in conversation with Nuffield Ireland Scholar and Strategic Advisor Geoff Dooley.

During the Conference and the Banquet that will follow in the evening of 14th November, you will have the opportunity to network with Nuffield alumni, including international Scholars, and agribusiness stakeholders.

We look forward to seeing you there!
