Trinity science centre secures €8.1m in funding

Trinty College's CRANN centre (Centre for Research on Adaptive Nanostructures and Nanodevices) has secured €8.1m in non-exchequer funding over the past 12 months, supporting 50 jobs.

The funding was drawn from 11 projects which involve collaborative work with 26 industry partners across Europe and the US, including multinational companies and smaller indigenous European companies. In addition CRANN is working with 55 international universities on these projects.

The majority of the funding has come from Europe, through a number of sources including the FP7 Cooperation, Ideas and Capacities blocks.
