Ibec once again joins forces with the Royal Irish Academy for Hamilton Day for its fifth year of partnership, recognising the importance of STEM education for business. 

Hamilton Day represents an important celebration of native Dubliner William Rowan Hamilton, one of the world’s greatest mathematicians and credited as one of the founders of modern linear algebra. Every year, Ireland’s universities come together to put forward outstanding nominees from their mathematics departments to be shortlisted for the Hamilton Prize.

In this episode of Ibec Responds, Danny McCoy, Ibec CEO, is joined by past winner of the Hamilton Prize, Norma Bargary, Professor of Data Science & Statistical Learning at University of Limerick and Martin Curley, Professor of Innovation at Maynooth University.

They discuss the key role STEM talent play in safeguarding Ireland’s economic future.

The Royal Irish Academy is pleased to announce that the 2024 Hamilton Lecture: The geometry and algebra of the Mandelbrot set will be delivered by Professor Laura DeMarco. Tickets are available for purchase now.
