Call for nominations for research innovation awards

The Royal Irish Academy and the American Chamber of Commerce have opened the call for nominations for the US-Ireland Research Innovation Awards.

The awards, supported by both KPMG and Ulster Bank, will “recognise excellence in research innovation that has taken place on the island of Ireland” as a result of US foreign direct investment.

Awards will be presented in categories including: the Irish operations of a US company; an Irish SME that has links with a US company and an Irish higher education institute or research centre that has collaborated with US companies.

The Irish Times is the media sponsor of the awards. The deadline for nominations is March 11th, with further information available on Ria.ie and Amcham.ie.
