Trasna na dTonnta network

Trasna na dTonnta is DRNI’s network for the Irish dementia research diaspora – a network for Irish researchers based abroad who want to keep in touch with research happening on the island of Ireland, or wish to connect to other Irish researchers based overseas.

Our aims with the network are to strengthen links between Irish dementia researchers at home and abroad; to support Irish dementia researchers emigrating to new countries and those returning home; and to strengthen Irish dementia research by supporting international collaborations.

If you would like to join this network, please contact Vanessa Moore: info@dementianetwork.ie
