Maynooth University is delighted to congratulate the 18 recipients of the New Foundations Awards announced by the Irish Research Council. Maynooth University researchers received a combined €190,883 to conduct research on a range of projects under the IRC New Foundations Awards scheme.
New Foundations supports researchers to pursue research, networking and dissemination activities within and between all disciplines. It provides seed funding for small-scale research actions; the development of networks, consortia and workshops; and creative approaches to the communication of scientific concepts or complex societal challenges for a lay audience.
