About creating our future

Creating Our Future is a is a Government of Ireland campaign to stimulate a national conversation that generates ideas from the public to inform the direction of research in Ireland.

While we might not always think about it, research and innovation affect nearly every part of our lives. Ideas are the starting point for all research and innovation. Anyone, anywhere can have an idea that inspires research and innovation. It could be based on an opportunity or challenge that someone has identified in their own life, for their community, for Ireland or for the world. Or it could be based on a topic that someone is curious or passionate about. Creating Our Future wants to hear them all – whatever facet of life they relate to.

Through online and in-person events like this one, Creating Our Future is speaking to broad and diverse communities across Ireland to capture their ideas to create a better future.
