The IRCSET Symposium aims to showcase to stakeholders, policymakers, business leaders and young researchers what Ireland is doing in Green IT and sustainability; to reveal the opportunities and dynamics of the new business environment created by energy-related issues; to encourage participants to think in cross-disciplinary terms as to how to address the “grand challenges” and to consider new opportunities to address innovation potential.
The Irish Government is committed to the creation of a “Smart Economy” in Ireland by ensuring a supply of highly-skilled talent and encouraging far graduates to pursue education in research techniques; investing in research and development, providing incentives for companies to locate more R&D capacity in Ireland, and providing the most fruitful arena for the interaction between academic research and market-facing commercial activity; implementing a “new green deal” through investment in renewable energy; and promoting the green enterprise sector and creation of “green-collar” jobs.
