Description of Intervention
SFI Research Centres link scientists and engineers in partnerships across academia and industry to address crucial research questions; foster the development of new and existing Irish-based technology companies; attract industry that could make an important contribution to Ireland and its economy; attract international research talent and capital; attract, anchor and spin out related companies in Ireland; and increase the numbers of SFI-trained researchers employed in industry. All of the approved research centre proposals will be aligned with the 14 priorities identified in Ireland’s Research Prioritisation Exercise.
