UCD EDI Neurodiversity Inclusion Celebration 2024

Report Launch: Making UCD a Neurodiversity Friendly Campus

In recent years, conversations about neurodiversity are garnering greater visibility. This has led to a growing awareness and reflection as to how our society can be inclusive of neurodiversity, flexible and accessible, recognising and celebrating neurological differences in all their diversity. Stefanie Preissner, award winning writer, actor and director will join us to mark the launch of Making UCD a Neurodiversity Friendly Campus. This report is a comprehensive guide for UCD becoming more inclusive of neurodiversity and indeed becoming Ireland’s first ‘Neurodiversity Friendly University’. Speakers will showcase neurodiversity friendly and inclusive initiatives and we will launch a new staff neurodiversity network.

Date: 18 April 2024, 10am- 3pm

Location: UCD Global Lounge, Gerard Manley Hopkins Centre
