The Irish Research Council for Science, Engineering and Technology (IRCSET) has awarded fellowships to six NUI Galway researchers. Over the next two years over €3.3 million will be made available under the IRCSET Empower scheme to support 37 researchers, who will be engaged in a research and professional development programme.
The successful NUI Galway recipients include Dr Fiona Brenna, Dr Oliver LeRoux, Biology; Dr Rory Coffey, Dr James Murphy, Earth/Environmental Science; Dr Alexander Rahm, Mathematics and Dr Michael Scanlon, Chemistry.
Martin Hynes director of IRCSET stated that, “the EMPOWER scheme continues to assist in building the strong Irish research system by facilitating talented young researchers to develop their careers in Ireland. “ Hynes added that, “the scheme also facilitates international mobility within the research community by attracting researchers from other countries in Ireland.”
The EMPOWER scheme is targeted at developing the country’s international reputation for world class research so that Ireland attracts the highest level of research and development capabilities for the future. The scheme is open to applicants worldwide and the applications are assessed by international assessment committees.
