Irish Research Council announces funding for 17 TU Dublin Researchers
The Irish Research Council has announced €27m in funding for new research projects under the Irish Research Council’s flagship Government of Ireland programmes, including awards for 17 TU Dublin researchers.
Under the scheme, the awardees will conduct research on a multitude of topics, ranging from a future Irish arts policy, machine translation and social media, to protecting wild bee populations and bioplastics.
Welcoming the announcement, Louise Callinan, Director of the Irish Research Council, said: “The prestigious Government of Ireland awards recognise and fund pioneering research projects, along with addressing new and emerging fields of research that introduce creative and innovative approaches across all disciplines, including the sciences, humanities and the arts.
Funding schemes like the IRC’s Government of Ireland programmes are vitally important to the wider research landscape in Ireland, as they ensure that researchers are supported at an early stage of their career and are given an opportunity to direct their own research.”
