Tech centres team up in hope of landing €82m

Two of Ireland’s leading technology research centres have teamed up in the hope of landing a multimillion-euro funding support.

Tyndall National Institute in Cork City and Waterford Institute of Technology’s Telecommunications Software & Systems Group (TSSG) are seeking to draw down €82m of funding under the EU’s Horizon 2020 programme.

The €80bn, seven-year programme is aimed at encouraging innovation across member states with the anticipated knock-on effects of job creation and improved competitiveness.
