Together with our partners, weโ€™ve officially launched ONEHEALTH โ€“ a โ‚ฌ10 million collaborative research project that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance understanding and drive innovation across human, animal, and environmental health.

ONEHEALTH, is a project supported by PEACEPLUS, a programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB) - European Funding, has received funding of โ‚ฌ9,852,752 and will be led by Catalyst, in partnership with Atlantic Technological University (ATU), Queen's University Belfast (QUB), Health Innovation Research Alliance Northern Ireland (HIRANI), Tyndall National Institute Cork and the University of Galway.

You will dive into real examples, uncover simple techniques that strengthen your delivery, and refine your own pitch step by step with guidance that helps you bring your idea to life. Sign up here: https://forms.monday.com/forms/ecfb448d1349dc5f85c8c0e60ae998d2?r=use1

We are proud to be partnering with Ulster University to launch IDE Lab @ CEBE, a new partnership initiative that brings entrepreneurial thinking and innovation into the academic experience of over 450 second and final-year students studying computing, engineering and the built environment.

This will be delivered in collaboration with Ulsterโ€™s Research & Innovation team, the School of Engineering (Belfast), and the School of Computing, Engineering & Intelligent Systems (Derry~Londonderry).

It will incorporate Design Thinking and Disciplined Entrepreneurship workshops into final-year project modules, alongside Innovation Driven Enterprise (IDE) start-up hackathons and guest lectures. All elements have been co-designed with academic staff to ensure they are relevant and impactful.
