Tá lúcháir ar Otharlann na hOllscoile Leitir Ceanainn (LUH) a bheith páirteach i dtionscadal taighde a bhfuil sé mar aidhm aige timpeallacht oibre níos dearfaí a chruthú d’altraí, agus an bhéim ar chleachtas altranais den scoth. Tá LUH ar cheann de 67 otharlann ar fud na hEorpa atá rannpháirteach sa tionscadal Magnet4Europe. Is clár idirnáisiúnta é a dearadh chun cultúr sármhaitheasa a chruthú, agus sláinte agus folláine na n-altraí ina n-ionad oibre a fheabhsú.
