This event, (http://www.innovationdublin.ie/index.php/festival-2010-events/thesis_in_...) will feature students from six SFI-funded Centres for Science, Engineering and Technology (CSETs) Clarity, CNGL, LERO, BDI, SBI and CRANN presenting their doctoral research in a series of concise, rapidly paced talks consisting of 3 slides of precisely one minute each. The presentations will cover the broad range of science, engineering and technology disciplines the CSETs are currently exploring in Ireland today. Essentially, each presentation is a PhD elevator pitch, and will open up current Irish research to a wider audience. There will be prizes for first, second and third.

Computing Graduates still in Great Demand

graduate demand pic Over the past year levels of unemployment have continued to rise and areas such as manufacturing, banking and finance have been hit hard. However, for those working in IT and Computing it's a happier story. There are still plenty of job opportunities within the IT and computing sectors.

In April 2009 RTE published a report highlighting a shortfall of up to 3000 computing graduates, resulting in the need for companies to hire up to 50% of their requirements from abroad. Since then, whilst there has been an overall rise in unemployment, Computing and IT jobs have continued to grow. On speaking with various recruitment agencies, it is clear that positions for Software Developers/Software Engineers/Testers are in demand at the moment and companies are seeing growth in their IT departments.
