Programme will focus on areas such as offshore wind platforms and energy-efficient communication networks
The Irish government has provided €1.4 million in funding through 15 awards in Science Foundation Ireland’s Industry Research, Development and Innovation fellowship programme.
The Industry RD&I programme will support the temporary placement of academic researchers in 12 companies, to conduct research across a variety of areas. These include energy-efficient communications networks, electrochemical sensors for rapid medical diagnostics, seaweed extract for use in cosmetics/health products, moorings for offshore wind platforms and reducing cement’s carbon footprint using new generation low clinker cement technology.
