Queen’s University Agility Fund Award: Silver Talents, An Intersectional Investigation into Ageing Females as (Non)-Talents in Northern Irish SMEs

The research examines how age and gender intersect to shape talent identification, inclusion, and exclusion within SME contexts, addressing an under-researched but economically and socially significant workforce group.
This award evidences institutional recognition of the project’s originality, policy relevance, and potential impact, and contributes to a coherent programme of research on inclusive talent management, ageing, and gender at work.
