These metrics underscore the significant outputs from individuals and UCC’s Research Institutes and Centres.
Professor Waeber’s accolade is a testament to his influential work in pushing boundaries and enhancing ethical practices in research. His contributions continue to inspire and raise the standards of research excellence.
