Almost a year in the making, Writing Place, Writing Planet is a collaborative programme which brought together Irish writers and scientists in co-creation. As co-lead and mentor, I’m really looking forward to this National Heritage Week showcase event.

A partnership between iCRAG Research Ireland Centre for Applied Geosciences and Creative Writing at UCD, the project, explores Ireland’s natural and cultural heritage in a truly unique and interdisciplinary way – blending literary talent with timely research on our natural world.

Writers June Caldwell, Otto Goodwin and Zoe Comyns have teamed up with a selection of natural scientists from across Irish universities: Dr. Gordon Bromley, Dr. Sean Jordan, Dr. Shea Slater, Dr. Silvia Caldararu, Ankit Swaraj and Dr. Morgane Bellec to explore themes of place, planet and humanity through workshops, a field trip, on-going knowledge exchange and expert mentorship, culminating in final pieces of new and exciting written works.
