An event promotional poster with a deep magenta background and yellow and white text. 

At the top left is the text "Ollscoil Mhá Nuad / Maynooth University" in white. At the top right is the Maynooth University logo, featuring a crest and the text "Maynooth University / National University of Ireland Maynooth".

The main text on the left reads:
"Research Week 2026" in large yellow font,

Below this, in smaller white text, is "EXPLORE 50+ events on campus or online".
Further down, it reads "Find out more: Maynoothuniversity.ie/research-week" in yellow, accompanied by a QR code in the bottom left corner, the hashtag "#MUresearch", and social media icons for Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter).

The right side of the poster features several yellow-bordered hexagonal frames of varying sizes containing photos of researchers and students:
- A man in a suit smiling as he sits at a grand piano.
- Two female scientists wearing lab coats and safety glasses in a laboratory setting.
- A young man using a laptop in a classroom or lab environment.
- A group of people outdoors, some wearing solar viewing glasses, gathered around a telescope.
- A runner on a track at the starting line.
- A speaker standing at a podium.
- A young woman smiling at an indoor event next to wooden exhibition stands.
