Insight launches data research collaboration programme
The SFI research centre for data analytics Insight is investing €350,000 in new collaborations with the Institutes of Technology and the new Technological Universities.
Projects were selected on the basis of scientific excellence and gender balance, among other criteria, and cover a range of areas including energy efficient scheduling for industry, lifestyle predictors for dementia and safe AI for medical devices.
Seven new projects are to be awarded, involving an additional 20 new researchers. The new research cohort is 50:50 male/female. Researchers are drawn from Technological University Dublin (TU Dublin), Munster Technological University (MTU), Atlantic Technological University (ATU) and Dundalk Institute of Technology (DKIT).
The new project collaborations were identified following an open call for proposals, which were independently evaluated by a gender-balanced team of senior experts drawn from different HEIs and disciplines.
“This is an exciting new development for Insight,” said CEO Prof Noel O’Connor. “We have the opportunity to form research synergies with the agile and dynamic Technological University network. The rigorous selection process ensures that each project passes a high bar for scientific excellence and draws from the widest possible talent pool, with gender balance a priority. Ireland is ambitious – we are growing a world class research corps that will drive projects to transform society, health, technology, and industry for the better. This is how we do it.”
