State Aid
Industry Collaboration Form
Research Ireland’s Industry Collaboration Form will support Grant recipients and their respective Research Performing Organisations in being compliant with State aid legislation. From 17th February 2021, Research Ireland will require that this form is completed and returned to Research Ireland on or before the date that the Collaborative Research (or Intellectual Property Rights) Agreement has been ‘agreed’ or signed by, the relevant partner(s).
Research and Innovation GBER Scheme
The Research Ireland Research and Innovation GBER Scheme 2021-2026 is implemented for a number of programmes including the Research Ireland Discover Programme, the Research Ireland Enterprise Fellowship Programme (Placement Stream) and the Research Ireland ARC Hubs Programme. If future Research Ireland Programmes avail of GBER this will be made apparent to prospective applicants and Research Bodies in the call documentation and application processes described.
The objective of this scheme is to provide aid for research and development projects that align with Research Ireland’s mandate to promote and assist the development and competitiveness of industry, enterprise and employment in Ireland.
