The UCD Science: Artists in Residence is part of the UCD
Science: Art in Science programme; an initiative that
emerged following a research collaboration between
Professor Lorraine Hanlon, UCD School of Physics, and
artist Emer O’Boyle. Delivered in partnership with National
College Art and Design (NCAD) and Dublin City Council
(DCC), the programme is a ten year commitment from the
UCD College of Science towards encouraging high quality
inter-disciplinary practice and collaborative partnerships
between artists and scientistsand providing a platform
for enhancing and developing the cultural life of the UCD
community.

Cultúr Lab was a strategic alignment between University
College Dublin and Dublin City Council (DCC), to foster the
growth and development of new platforms for knowledge
exchange and impact, based on Ireland’s long established
heritage in the Arts and Humanities. In association
with UCD College of Arts and Celtic Studies, Cultúr Lab
initiated the first artist in residence scheme for the
humanities in 2014, building on the UCD Science: Artists in
Residence. The scheme will enable artists and humanities
researchers to collaborate in creating new work in new
and innovative ways.
