Who We Are
Women in Research Ireland (WIRI) is a volunteer-run charity based in Dublin, Ireland and a group member of the National Women's Council of Ireland. WIRI provides a platform for women, nonbinary, genderfluid persons and members of under-represented groups working in research. Monthly events afford the opportunity to gather and discuss solutions to problems that affect our network.
Our mission is to build a community where silenced voices are heard in academic spaces.
By acknowledging hidden issues and examining them in an open forum, WIRI sheds light on these topics while creating a space to meet fellow attendees. WIRI also co-hosts events with local organisations that support our mission.

Discuss the issues
We acknowledge the issues that affect women and underrepresented groups in research and academia and discuss potential solutions
Lift voices
We provide opportunities to hear the perspectives of individuals who are often unheard in academia—including women, disabled individuals, members of ethnic minority groups, and genderfluid and nonbinary individuals, among others.
