What people say about ECOBROKER

“ECOBROKER is a transparent way of connecting researchers, local authority staff, and other practitioners with common interests.”
Matthew O’Sullivan, Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council

“Through ECOBROKER I can involve students with practical, societally relevant research topics.”
Tamara Hochstrasser, UCD

“ECOBROKER connects professionals to address societal and environmental challenges.”
Adam Kane, UCD

“Collaboration through ECOBROKER amongst disciplines and sectors allows us to address multifaceted problems.”

“Through ECOBROKER we can pool resources between third level institutions, local authorities and other practitioners.”

“The benefits of work being carried out by professionals is multiplied through ECOBROKER by increasing visibility of this work”

“Practitioners may lose sight of bigger picture, be very engrained in routine of practice. It is helpful when research brings new issues to them, new perspectives.”
