Current Research Projects

Project Metanode

Project Metanode is designed to be a cutting-edge platform that will harness the power of AI to create personalised, multimodal learning paths at scale.

This research project is a joint collaboration between NCI School of Business and the Centre for Education and Lifelong Learning (CELL).

Engage SLT

The EngageSLT project is focused on using AI to enhance Speech and Language Therapy for children.

STEM Family Learning in the Community

STEM Family Learning in the Community aims to:

Sustain and expand our existing inclusive SFI STEM Family Learning Programme through the development of inclusive access and progression routes in STEM for children and families.
Engage children, young people and their families in STEM subjects from the earliest possible age through to age 16.
Enhance parent engagement in STEM and inform programmatic development through a participatory research study into parents' perceptions of STEM and digital technologies.

There are 6 elements in the project, all of which will be delivered through ELI’s network of local homes, pre-school, schools, afterschools, community services, NCI and public spaces in Dublin’s Inner City. Our goal is to provide multiple diverse STEM learning activities that build awareness, curiosity and confidence in vulnerable children and families and promote equal access, inclusion and diversity in STEM throughout this very marginalized community.
