About the Award
The Walsh Scholarships Programme mission is to train and develop the next generation of leaders in agri-food research, advisory and education. The Alum Award was created in 2018 to celebrate achievements of an exceptional nature by a member of the Walsh Scholars Alumni.
It is an opportunity for Teagasc to reflect on, and celebrate, the tremendous achievements of the Programme’s growing alumni network, who are working in academia, industry and policy, nationally and internationally.
The award is reserved for those alumni who have contributed significantly to their profession and service to society. As such, awardees represent the best in our alumni network – exemplary role models, who inspire all those who aspire to have an impact.
