AIR Training Seminar 2025 highlights video
We are proud to share the highlights from the 2025 Association of Irish Regions (AIR) Annual Seminar, held in Athlone on 5 and 6 February 2025 marking a decade of Ireland’s three Regional Assemblies. Organised by the Eastern and Midland Regional Assembly (EMRA), this special event brought together over 270 delegates, including locally elected representatives, planners, policymakers, and stakeholders from across Ireland and Europe.
The two-day seminar was a dynamic platform for knowledge sharing, celebrating regional achievements, and looking ahead to a more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient Ireland. Key moments included the project exhibition space and the launch of two innovative tools developed in partnership with Maynooth University’s All-Island Research Observatory (AIRO): the National Census Atlas and the Smart Specialisation Strategy (S3) Dashboard—groundbreaking resources for evidence-based planning and regional innovation.
Watch the video to relive the energy, insight, and collaboration that made the 2025 this year’s AIR Seminar such a memorable success.
The Association of Irish Regions (AIR) is the representative body of the three Regional Assemblies in Ireland – the Eastern and Midland Regional Assembly, the Northern and Western Regional Assembly and the Southern Regional Assembly.
