The South East Technological University (SETU) annual awards recognise the contributions of SETU academic and research staff to high-quality, innovative research.

This work is carried out in collaboration with Teagasc in Solohead and Johnstown Castle where the results to date have shown that it is possible to grow large quantities of pasture with very low levels of artificial nitrogen.
The Research Excellence Impact Policy and Practice award was presented to Dr. Casey at a ceremony in the Waterford campus by Prof. Veronica Campbell, president of SETU.
Dr. Casey was one of the first Teagasc Walsh Fellows, obtaining her PhD in the 1990s and her work in SETU is based around sustainable grass systems research.
