"Regulating Lobbying: Promoting Transparency or Straw Man"
This talk discusses how political systems in a number of states across four continents (Canada, USA, Germany, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland, Taiwan and Australia) have enacted formal legislation in regulating lobbyists in order to increase transparency in the policy process. It examines whether the legislation has brought about such transparency or is it simply a straw man with little effictiveness.

The Multidisciplinary Path to Advanced Medical Diagnostics
This presentation will highlight the importance of integrated multiple research disciplines in developing next generation technologies. In particular, creating research environments where the convergence of research developed in the life science, physical science and information technologies is crucial in developing innovative solutions. This presentation will use examples in the field of advanced medical diagnostics to highlight the issues involved.

Undergraduate Research Conference
Last Wednesday, October 12th, DCU hosted over a hundred undergraduate students from all over the country at "Research in the Real World", the Dublin Regional Higher Education Alliance's 2nd Annual Undergraduate Research Conference. This year the conference was national with undergraduate students coming to present from Galway, Letterkenny, Sligo and all across the Dublin region. Over thirty students presented their own original research in sessions chaired by lecturers throughout the day in disciplines as varied as biotechnology, psychology, and cultural studies to name a few. As well over twenty students presented their research through posters. The Best Poster Award went to DCU's own undergraduate Declan Hughes whose co-researchers won for their poster 'Young and Greedy: A relationship between the current economic crisis and support for overseas aid'. Prof. Finbarr Bradley gave an inspiring keynote "Research to Innovation: In pursuit of wisdom" that set the tone for the day of creativity and ambition. The conference was organised by the Teaching and Retention Committee of the DRHEAPictures of the Day
The Best Picture of the Day went to Aurelie Sicard

NDLR Symposium 2012
Since 2009 the NDLR annual call for funding under the Learning Innovation Community Supported (LInCS) projects initiative has enabled and supported the development of innovative high quality teaching and learning digital resources. Over the last 12 months the number of users and downloads of resources from the repository has increased in line with the number of quality resources being deposited in the NDLR repository. However, more research needs to be done on how these resources are being used and reused and the impact they are having in the classroom.
The NDLR would like to invite the academic community in Ireland to submit papers and presentations on the following themes:
· Faculty evaluation of digital resources in the classroom
o Innovative uses of digital resources in the classroom
o Institutional support of digital resource use
o Reuse or repurposing of resources
· Student evaluation of digital resources
o Student attitudes and perceptions of digital resources
o Do digital resources enhance the learning experience?
If your proposal is accepted you must be available to present your paper at the NDLR Symposium which is taking place on the 26th of September 2012, venue TBA. Proceedings from the Symposium will be published along with papers presented. We also intend to select some of the best papers for publication with an English academic publisher.
Key Dates:
Abstract (200- 500 words) 16th March 2012
Full Paper (4,000-5,000 words) 31st May 2012
NDLR Symposium Presentation (15 mins) 19th Sept 2012
