NUI marks International Women’s Day 2022 on the 8th March and in many of our institutions we have events through that week.
Given how our working lives have changed over the last couple of years we at NUI thought it may be of benefit to staff in NUI constituent universities and recognised colleges to gather together a list of events happening across the sector this week.
Many are available online or in hybrid form. It maybe that you would like to attend or it may stimulate the planning for an event next year. It is unlikely we have gathered all events but here are a selection.

UCC - International Women's Day 2022 - Climate x Gender Equality Panel
To mark International Women's Day 2022, University College Cork (Mná Women's Network, Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Unit & Green Campus) invites you to attend a panel discussion on Climate x Gender Equality.
Climate change and its consequences are a daily reality for millions of people around the world. Women and girls already face inequality and discrimination due to the gender. It is recognised that change-related crises compound this inequality, with some of the poorest and most marginalised women and girls in the world facing adverse effects. This IWD 2022, we want to address this issue and #BreaktheBias around this important topic. Our experienced panel of practitioners, thought leaders and researchers will discuss practical ways to better the lives of women and girls both here in Ireland and in the wider world.
Time, Date & Format: 12:00-13:00, Friday 4 March 2022 (Microsoft Teams)
