The Hecat research project was officially launched last month, March 3rd and 4th at the Finnstown Castle Hotel. Hecat is funded under the Horizon 2020 research framework, a research initiative focused on enhancing innovation and fostering interdisciplinarity upon the foundation of European Values.
The goal of our project is to develop an ethical algorithmic platform, which will aid Public Employment Services (PES) and unemployed individuals make more informed decisions with respect to the labour market. This project is ambitious, but we have an excellent team with state-of-the-art skills and expertise.
This initial meeting’s purpose was to bring all of the partners in our project together so that we would all have a chance to meet one another – but also to plan the next 12 months of the project and set expectations. It’s fair to say that both days were productive and helpful, with each Work Package of the project being highlighted one at a time to clarify how each different part of the project fits together into a greater whole.
Special thanks to Ray Griffin and Aisling Tuite for the pictures.
Though every partner could not be in attendance due to logistical or timing issues, each Work Package had at least one representative. We left Dublin with a feeling of invigoration and purpose, and with greater clarity as to how each different part of the project fits together.

Like!! Really appreciate you sharing this blog post.Really thank you! Keep writing.
Wonderful post! We are linking to this particularly great post on our website. Keep up the great writing.
Hey there! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance
from an established blog. Is it difficult to set up
your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast.
I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not sure where to start.
Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Many thanks
This is a topic that’s near to my heart…
Cheers! Exactly where are your contact details though?
