IADT Summer School on Research & Social Justice
Reflecting on the Success of the IADT Summer School on Research & Social Justice
We were delighted to be part of the recent IADT Summer School on Research & Social Justice — a thought-provoking event that brought together researchers, educators, practitioners, and community voices to explore how research can create meaningful social impact.
The three days featured inspiring discussions and practical insights across a range of important themes, including inclusion, accessibility, community engagement, and responsible innovation.
The Summer School highlighted the power of collaboration and the importance of placing social justice at the heart of research, education, and innovation.
A huge thank you to all speakers, organisers, and participants who contributed to such an engaging and impactful day. We look forward to continuing these conversations and supporting research that drives positive change.

The TU RISE IADT Elevate Programme hosted an XR Design Sprint bringing together enterprises and creative practitioners to explore real-world applications of immersive technologies through collaborative, hands-on innovation. Over five days, participants developed early-stage concepts across education, culture and creative industries, supported by design thinking and industry expertise.
