The Minister for Science, Technology and Innovation, Conor Lenihan, has announced research funding awards of €20.7 million to be split across 22 projects under the Science Foundation Ireland Principal Investigator Programme.
Making the announcement, Minister Lenihan said: 'The Government remains firmly committed to developing the smart economy.
'It is research projects such as these that will support the next phase of Ireland's economic development. We must never lose sight of the fact that research and development is primarily about people - the individual and collective talents of our skilled personnel.
'We must continue to support the best researchers to bring about long-term economic benefits and with the assistance of support structures such as SFI, IDA and Enterprise Ireland, we can studiously bring these concepts to that next level, and through exploitation and commercialisation ensure economic and societal benefits for Ireland.'
