Well done Orla from all at NIBPS

UL’s Professor Orla Muldoon has been awarded the 2024 European Research Council (ERC) Public Engagement with Research Award for a project which addressed gender-based violence as a societal and public health issue, challenging the view that it is solely a personal or intimate problem.

The prize recognises ERC grantees who successfully engage audiences outside their academic domain. Through research and public advocacy, Professor Muldoon and her team highlighted how the risk of gender-based violence shapes women’s social identities and has serious mental and physical health implications.
