NCPST Success in HEA Programme for Research in Third Level Institutes Phase 4 Competition (August 2007)

The NCPST (in collaboration with RINCE) has secured E2.6M in funding in the recent HEA PRTLI Phase 4 competition.  E1.8M will be used to make a significant investment in ultrafast photonic equipment in both centres.  The investment will underpin the photonics/nanotechnology theme of the NCPST research plan.  The remainder of the funds will be used to recruit two high level research officers with experience in high speed photonics and ultrafast laser systems.

The proposal was part of a national bid entitled NANOSCIENCE AND NANO-SCALE TECHNOLOGIES FOR IRELAND (NANOTEIRE) and comprises seven partners, DCU, TCD, UCD, NUIG, UL, DIT and CIT.  The proposal team comprised John Costello, Enda McGlynn and Jean Paul Mosnier of the NCPST with Liam Barry, Pascal Landais and Paddy McNally of RINCE.
