RTÉ is proud to return to the RDS to support the 2026 Stripe Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition which will take place from Wednesday 7th – Saturday 10th January.
Giving listeners a front-row seat to the future of science and technology in Ireland, RTÉ will be bringing popular shows from RTÉ 2FM and RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta live from our radio studio at StripeYSTE 2026.
Those visiting the RTÉ studio at the exhibition will also have the exciting opportunity to explore a fully functioning radio studio, record and edit their very own radio promo and enjoy a range of interactive, immersive games on the big screen.
And there will be a live performance from one of Ireland’s most exciting emerging acts, Cliffords who are among the artists to watch as part of 2FM Rising 2025. Cliffords will open the exhibition with a live performance on Wednesday 7th January, while news2day’s Florence Okojie will present a brand-new accolade, the RTÉ Science and Society Award, to the project that best uses science and technology to tackle issues facing modern Irish life.
