We can and should do better for Gaza students seeking to study in Ireland.

Is there a way to facilitate bringing more students from Gaza into Ireland for third level study, even after study visa approvals have fallen this year? Dr. Emma Stokes, outgoing Vice-President of Global Engagement at Trinity believes so, and has outlined a way forward in today's The Irish Times.

"Longer term, we can capitalise on the model the colleges and universities of Ireland have shown they can develop. What is needed is a funded partnership model between the Government (Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the Department of Further and Higher Education) and the institutions backed by fee waivers and donor support.

"Education changes lives. Enabling access to education and respite from war, conflict, famine, genocide and environmental disasters also saves lives. This is not just about the fate of individual students. Meaningful educational support will mean that communities and countries can be rebuilt. It means that the impact of deliberate or unintentional destruction of education and educational infrastructure – which always happen in war zones – is minimised."

As Ireland looked up at a partial solar eclipse last week, an Irish Air Corps C295 carried a team of scientists into the path of totality, approximately 350km off the west coast of Ireland, where the Moon completely covered the Sun.

On board, researchers from Trinity College Dublin Professor Laura Hayes, and Professor Joe McCauley as well as collaborators from the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS), TU Dublin and Italy’s National Institute for Astrophysics operated the E-CorMag solar telescope, capturing rare images of the Sun's outer atmosphere during the fleeting moments of totality.

Following this unique collaboration between Irish military aviation and international science, Director of DIAS and Adjunct Professor of Physics at Trinity College Dublin Prof. Peter T. Gallagher said, 'We are pleased to report that the Eclipse26 flight mission was a resounding success, with successful capture of optical, infrared and “green line” images of the solar corona - quite a unique data-set'.
