The Newman Fellows’ Dinner

The annual Newman Fellows’ Dinner, in Newman House on St Stephen’s Green, was hosted by UCD President
Dr Hugh Brady. The Newman Fellowship Programme, UCD’s prestigious post-doctoral research programme, is an important element of UCD’s research strategy and is key to the University’s commitment to building partnerships with industry.
Each Fellow is endowed for a two-year period during which a major research project is undertaken. Since its inception in 1989, the Programme has attracted high-calibre researchers from the Humanities and Sciences who have been generously sponsored by industry and benefactors. The Newman Fellows’ Dinner provides an opportunity for each Newman Fellow, their UCD academic supervisor and a representative of the donor to network and share experiences.The Fellowships were established in 1989. Since then, there have been 112 Fellows. Ten companies have sponsored three or more Fellows during this period, demonstrating the success of the programme. Current donors include Agilent Technologies, Nycomed and Actelion Phamaceuticals Ltd.
