Great to see Colm O'Connor speaking at the CONUL Conference yesterday, presenting on “Librarian-Led Research Dissemination: Innopharma Insights as a Catalyst for Life Sciences Scholarship.”

The session highlighted the development of Innopharma Insights, a librarian-led research journal launched in 2025, supporting learners and professionals in publishing research across life sciences disciplines.

Key themes included:

‣ A structured editorial and publishing model
‣ Increased accessibility to academic publishing for professional learners
‣ Strong positive feedback from student contributors
‣ Opportunities for replication across other institutions
‣ Future development of the initiative

A strong example of how structured academic support can bridge the gap between learning and publication.

From AI and automation to data-driven decision-making, digital transformation is changing the future of life sciences.

As the sector evolves, so does the demand for professionals with the right digital, technical and strategic skills.

👏 Delighted to have taken part in yesterday’s Open Education: Supporting Policy and Practice event at Munster Technological University.

A special congratulations to Colm O Connor and Jenny Manning, PhD on their submitted poster presentation:

🎓 From Assessment to Impact: Institutional Open Publishing at Innopharma Education

The presentation highlighted how assessed student work can evolve into open, reusable scholarly outputs through the development of the Innopharma Insights journal – supporting open access, student co-creation, capacity building, and equity of access.

Particularly inspiring was the focus on supporting mature, part-time professional learners by providing a safe and structured pathway into publishing, helping learners build confidence, develop scholarly skills, and create work with real professional and sector impact.

Thank you also to Catriona Hogan and everyone involved in such an engaging and forward-looking event focused on the future of open education and institutional practice.
