Queen's University hosted a Fringe Event at the Alliance Party Conference at the Crowne Plaza.

The panel, chaired by Dr Peter Gilleece, consisted of Aileen Cummins, Professor Ciaren Graham and Kate Nicholl MLA. Their backgrounds in policy and analysis, civic engagement, health sciences and politics proved to provide a fruitful discussion on a range of topics.

Particularly focussing on a model for funding Higher Education, their conversation also included how research can impact the economy, and how academia can partner with government.

We are very grateful to the panellists and audience for attending this event and engaging in the conversation.
