Science Foundation Ireland looks to attract international researchers

Science Foundation Ireland has announced a plan to attract the best international researchers to the country in order to build on Ireland’s growing reputation as a base for scientific innovation.

While Ireland has dropped out of the top 10 countries for the quality of its scientific research, it remains 11th in global rankings and is thriving in response to SFI’s focus on supporting innovative projects and research.

Announcing a review of 2017 and an ambitious programme for 2018, the national foundation for investment in scientific and engineering research yesterday revealed that almost €50m was invested last year to support scientific research, innovation, and education.
