About IRCSET

The Irish Research Council for Science, Engineering & Technology forms a Board of senior academic and industrial figures.

IRCSET operates multi-million euro research funding initiatives which support talented researchers in their early stage career formation across Masters, Doctoral and Postdoctoral levels in the sciences, engineering and technology.

The emphasis of our funding programmes is on exploratory research aimed at yielding new concepts, findings and innovations within Ireland. Funding is made available through a series of strictly competitive calls for applicants. Selection for funding is based on merit and the decision processes are overseen by independent assessment panels.

IRCSET’s initiatives are funded by the National Development Plan of Ireland under the auspices of the Department of Education & Science.

What's new?

IRCSET launches the new Peer Review College

IRCSET has established a Peer Review College to populate a database of experts to contribute to our funding evaluation practices.

IRCSET operates a number of research funding schemes supporting postgraduate and postdoctoral research in science, engineering and technology. All applications are internationally peer reviewed to the highest standard. In order to maintain and improve our review procedures we welcome nominations of suitably qualified national and international experts.

The database will serve as reference point for the sole use of the IRCSET executive in selecting experts, details of the database will be confidential and will not be released to third parties without prior permission.

Nominations are requested for Assessors wishing to participate in:

· The EMBARK Postgraduate Scholarship Competition

· The EMPOWER and INSPIRE Postdoctoral Fellowship Competitions

· The Enterprise Partnership Scheme Postgraduate Scholarship Competition

· The Enterprise Partnership Scheme Postdoctoral Fellowship Competition
