Experts Directory
Media Directory
The NUI Galway Interactive Media Directory is designed to give those working in the media an overview of the extent of expertise available in the University. The directory lists staff who are willing, when possible, to speak on the area which they have expertise.
Staff willing to be interviewed ’as Gaeilge’ are identified by the letter G following their names.
