It has been a busy yet rewarding last week, finalising and submitting my Laidlaw Scholars Research Paper and Poster ahead of the Laidlaw Conference in Imperial College London. A huge thank you to my supervisor Dr. Martha O'Hagan Luff for all of her guidance and support throughout the process.
A particular highlight was having the opportunity to meet with IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva alongside four other Laidlaw Scholars. We had an insightful conversation covering AI and European productivity, global wealth inequality, Ireland’s energy challenges and European energy efficiency, as well as hearing about her own career and experiences.
A massive thank you to Kate and the wider Laidlaw team at Trinity College Dublin for making such a unique opportunity possible.
