Annual Cycling Research Lecture
The Annual Cycling Research Lecture takes place during Spring or Summer each year. The aim of the event is to present fresh perspectives on how we can recreate a strong cycling culture in the city. The lectures are delivered by active thinkers and campaigners from the world of cycle advocacy and cycling planning. The audience typically consists of policy-makers, engineers, planners, architects, cycling activists, academics and the wider public. The lectures are provided free-of-charge so as to disseminate the ideas as widely as possible. Many thanks to all of our previous speakers for giving over their time and energies for the benefit of the Dublin Cycling Campaign.
Below you will find information on past and upcoming events. If you know of an inspiring speaker who can electrify a Dublin audience with his or her ideas on the subject, do contact us with your ideas on info@dublincycling.ie
