Annual Events

Geological Survey Ireland participates in a number of national events every year. This gives people the chance to interact with our scientists, understand our data, have a chat, and maybe even win a prize or two!

BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition

We have a large, interactive stand at the BT Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition every year in January. Join us to experience the lighter side of geology and have some fun! For students, if your project has a geological component, you could be with a chance of winning our coveted BTYSE geology award.

The Irish Geological Research Meeting is an all-Island annual event hosted by the geoscience departments in our research institutes, taking place late February-early March.

Every year many geological events are organised across the country in August for National Heritage Week.

Geological Survey Ireland team members will be on-site in September at the Department of Environment, Climate and Communications stand in Ratheniska, Co Laois, to answer your questions about your land and everything underneath it. We also perform demonstrations and explain geological models.
