The award of €8m in funding under a European Union competition will help create 20 new research jobs at the Tyndall National Institute in University College Cork. The Tyndall Institute topped the Irish performance in the EU Information and Communication Technology (ICT) funding announcement.
The institute won a dozen non-exchequer funded European projects, seven of which Tyndall will co-ordinate, and involve telecommunications, nanoelectronics, medical devices and environmental monitoring.
This accounts for half of all projects co-ordinated by Ireland in this funding round.
