The GBHI Team meeting occurs every second calendar month, which is attended by GBHI’s Dublin site Atlantic Fellows, Faculty and Staff; Atlantic Senior Fellows are also welcome to attend via video conference.

Once per month the GBHI Staff and Faculty meeting occurs, which is attended by GBHI’s Dublin site Faculty and Staff.

Each of these meetings is usually held on a Wednesday morning (the precise schedule is communicated at regular intervals).

Each GBHI committee and working group meets on a regular basis, with video conference enabling participation from members at both founding sites. A listing of the current composition of the committees and working groups can be found on the GBHI Intranet.

The Wednesday seminar slot is managed by a fellow; Atlantic Fellows, Atlantic Senior Fellows, Faculty and Staff are invited to attend the weekly GBHI seminars (2-3 pm Wednesdays); presented by Atlantic Fellows, GBHI Faculty, invited guests, or a joint seminar given by an Atlantic Fellow and a researcher from GBHI Faculty’s group. In addition, there are Salons pertaining to the values of GBHI (often in a “fireside chat” format) where invited guests and Atlantic Fellows discuss in an informal manner. Several seminar opportunities are available across different sites. Please take time to make yourself aware of each seminar and the topic to assess if it is relevant to you.

All Fellows are invited to attend a range of seminar series organized by colleagues at Trinity including:

• NeuroSoc Seminars (usually run Mondays, 1:00-2:00pm)
