University of Limerick students this week came together to celebrate the recognition they received in the form of bespoke framed glass artworks to mark their receipt of a scholarship from global healthcare company, Johnson & Johnson, as part of its WiSTEM2D Programme with Lero the Science Foundation Ireland Research Centre for Software and University of Limerick. Now in its sixth year at UL, the WiSTEM2D programme will provide the scholarship recipients with extensive industry mentoring and leadership training.

WiSTEM2D refers to Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, Manufacturing and Design.
