The returning 2019 Nuffield Scholars will present the findings of their research online in a series of virtual presentations from next Monday (November 23).

The week-long virtual ‘lunch and learn’ series will feature one 10-minute presentation each day, beginning at 1:30pm, in which a different scholar will outline the fruits of their research.

Karen Brosnan, the chairperson of Nuffield Ireland, said: “We were disappointed to have to cancel this year’s Nuffield Conference but we are delighted to be able to offer our returning 2019 scholars a platform to share their learnings with the industry.

“Understanding that people are experiencing a level of online fatigue, this format allows delegates to tune in for just 10 minutes each day at lunchtime over the course of the week and garner some invaluable insights,” Brosnan added.

Internationally, there are around 70 Nuffield Scholars awarded each year. Each group works together to develop an understanding of the big issues in agriculture.
