National Anti-Bullying Centre

In January 2014, following the appointment of Prof. O'Moore as an adjunct Professor[2] at Dublin City University, an Anti-Bullying Centre opened at Dublin City University where it is under the academic leadership of Dr. James O'Higgins Norman.

[3] In May 2014, the Centre was re-launched as the National Anti-Bullying Research and Resource Centre by the Minister for Education and Skills Ruairí Quinn TD and the Tánaiste Éamon Gilmore TD at a ceremony in Dublin City University.

The conference was supported by the Government of Ireland and was attended by representatives from all of the major social networks.

Staff at ABC have participated in more than 13 EU-funded research projects on bullying and cyberbullying prevention.
