CONNECT at 10: CONNECT Centre Showcase

Join us in celebrating a decade of innovation, collaboration, and impact. In 2025, the CONNECT Centre marks ten years of pioneering research, and we are hosting a special anniversary showcase at Fyuz 2025 in the Dublin Convention Centre on 4 November, 10:00–12:15.

At this special showcase, we’ll highlight a decade of cutting-edge research, innovation, and collaboration that has shaped the communications technologies of tomorrow. Hear from leading academics, spinouts, alumni, and industry partners who have worked together to drive secure, sustainable, and inclusive connectivity solutions.

The showcase will feature:

• From Lab to Launch: Spinouts & Alumni Success – a panel discussion exploring the journey from research to commercialisation and the achievements of CONNECT alumni.

• CONNECT Research: 6G and Beyond – short presentations from researchers highlighting cutting-edge projects, followed by an audience Q&A.

• Future Networks and Sustainability – insights into how CONNECT is driving innovation in sustainable communications, with opportunities for discussion and exchange.

The showcase will also feature the annual CONNECT Awards, recognising individuals who have demonstrated excellence in communications research.

We warmly invite our alumni, friends, and colleagues from institutions and industry across the globe to join us.
