The ICUF scholarship in 2005 was key to developing my project on social change and national identity in Canada and Ireland, which recently received a major Canadian research award.  I am more certain than ever that these two countries have a great deal to learn from each other, and that building research networks between them is the key to sharing learning and insight.
