Grace Hopper Celebration 2025
Hello from Northern Ireland!
We’re proud to be part of the Grace Hopper Celebration 2025 in Chicago, connecting with brilliant minds and sharing what makes Queen’s University Belfast such a rewarding place to study, research, and build a career in computing.
Queen’s University Belfast has been innovating since 1845. As a member of the prestigious Russell Group of UK research-intensive universities, we’re committed to excellence in teaching, research, and impact. Our School of Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EEECS) is a dynamic community where students and researchers tackle global challenges through cutting-edge work in AI, cyber-security, robotics, quantum computing, and more.
We’re here to talk about postgraduate programmes, research opportunities, and career pathways in Northern Ireland’s thriving tech and innovation ecosystem. If you’re curious about what it’s like to live, learn, and work with us, come say hello. We promise warmth, insight, and a wee bit of craic.*
*craic /krak/
noun (Irish English): enjoyable social activity; a good time.
"She loves the craic, the craic was 90."
