SUSTAINABILITY
On behalf of the BINI 2024 organising committee, I express our
commitment to addressing sustainability as part of our
conference organizing activity. From the outset, we established
a Green Subcommittee which considered all aspects of
conference delivery and who informed decisions taken by the
scientific and entertainment programme committees. Collectively, we have taken the
following steps to ensure the carbon footprint of BINI2024 is as small as possible.

Travel

We encourage delegates to use public transport or car sharing when travelling to the
conference. To promote this we:

1. Chose a venue close to public transport terminal

2. Emailed delegates with public transport options two weeks before conference
3. Ran social media posts promoting car sharing
Printing and Sundries

To keep printing and sundries to a minimum we:

1. Asked all delegates to bring their own lanyard

2. Used reusable plastic sleeves for name badges which we will collect at the end
of the conference
3. Small conference booklet provided with programme information
4. Abstracts available online
5. No delegate bags
Food and Drink

In relation to food and drink we:

1. No single use bottles- carafes and glasses for water in every room
2. Asked delegates to bring personal reusable water bottles
3. One meal will be vegetarian only to reduce food miles
4. Venue recycles their waste- part recycled and part used to produce Refuse-
Derived Fuel (RDF) for electricity production.
Entertainment
To reduce waste:

1. Quiz on Friday evening will be paperless

THE SAMUEL HAUGHTON HONORARY LECTURE
The Royal Academy of Medicine in Ireland Silver Medal is presented to a
distinguished clinician or engineer who has made a significant contribution to the
field of bioengineering through academic endeavour and research. The recipient
delivers the distinguished Samuel Haughton Honorary Lecture at the annual
Bioengineering in Ireland conference.

Professor Laoise McNamara

Professor Laoise McNamara holds the position of
Established Professor of Engineering and serves as the
Head of the School of Engineering at the University of
Galway. She earned her Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering
from Trinity College Dublin, where she initially participated
in Bioengineering in Ireland to present her research.
Following this, she completed her Postdoctoral training at
Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Her academic journey
includes roles as a Lecturer at NUI Galway and the University of Southampton (UK).
In 2009, she was appointed as a Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) Stokes Lecturer in
Biomedical Engineering at NUI Galway.

Professor McNamara is the founder of the Mechanobiology and Medical Device

Research group at the University of Galway. The group employs multidisciplinary
approaches to investigate mechanobiology and its impact on bone development,
osteoporosis, and cancer metastasis. They develop advanced experimental and
computational models to explore the intricate biomechanical and multicellular
environment that governs mechanobiological processes in bone. These models are
applied to scrutinize the mechanisms underlying changes in bone cells during
conditions such as osteoporosis and metastatic bone disease.

In her collaborative efforts, Prof. McNamara works with industry leaders such as
Stryker, Boston Scientific, and Medtronic, applying her expertise in computational
and experimental biomechanics to the pre-clinical assessment of surgical and
minimally invasive medical devices. In addition to her research leadership, she has
undertaken various administrative roles at the University of Galway, including Vice
Dean for Research and Innovation, and currently as the Head of the School of
Engineering. Over the past 15 years, she has led her research group, comprising 60
researchers.

Her research has earned her two ERC Awards (Consolidator and Starter), an Irish
Research Council Laureate Award, a Science Foundation Ireland Investigators Grant,
and various other funding. Professor McNamara's publication record includes over
90 research articles, and she actively serves as an advisory board member, chair,
and reviewer for international journals, funding panels, and institutes. Her research
group has been awarded numerous prizes and awards, many of which were from
the Bioengineering in Ireland conference. She has been honoured personally with
the Irish Research Council "Researcher of the Year" award in 2019, a NIRA award by
the Orthopaedic Research Society, and the Harold B. Frost Young Investigator
Award by the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research. Notably, she was
selected as a "2019 Spotlight Speaker" at the Orthopaedic Research Society
meeting.

Having participated in Bioengineering in Ireland for over two decades, Professor

McNamara emphasizes the significance of this conference and its community in her
own success and that of many others. She acknowledges the conference's role in
expanding networks, fostering collaborations, inspiring and nurturing creativity.
The unwavering support from the Bioengineering in Ireland community stands as a
cornerstone of their collective success, leaving behind a thriving legacy. She is
honoured that her first Bioengineering in Ireland award is the Royal Academy of
Medicine in Ireland Silver Medal and will deliver the Samuel Haughton Honorary
Lecture at the 29th annual Bioengineering in Ireland conference.
