Research in Ireland – Panel discussion
We are delighted to be hosting a number of researchers from Universities and Institutions across Ireland who have been working on research into Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder.
We will discuss some of the research that has been published, research currently in the works and of course research for the future.
Ireland is one of the few countries in the western world with minimal research around FASD, so this is an opportunity to hear from an expert panel who have specific interest in research, FASD and neurodevelopmental disabilities.
We will also be facilitating a panel discussion - 'Expert by Experience Panel' (people living with FASD).
Refreshments, Lunch and complimentary parking are included.
