Research & Innovation

Established in June 2023, in response to the announcement that the Government of Ireland would amalgamate the Irish Research Council and Science Foundation Ireland to create a single funding agency for research in Ireland. The WG was to the forefront in organising a workshop in collaboration with the Royal Irish Academy on 15 May 2024. This was the first of two consultation events convened by the RIA to consider the corporate plan and future funding portfolio of the new funding agency , Taighde Éireann – Research Ireland. See here for a full report on workshop findings.
