Lift off for bright sparks in the space race

MOVE over, NASA. FÁS, Ireland’s answer to the space race, is about to launch a rocket in your direction.

It’s all part of an Irish space programme involving 12 science graduates who have been chosen to take part in the first ever Irish Discover Science Programme, to be run at the Florida Space Institute.

Discover Science is an initiative developed by FÁS to encourage greater participation in the Sciences across all disciplines and for all ages.
