International Activity
International cooperation is key to a successful research, development and innovation strategy. Maintaining existing international partnerships and generating new ones, particularly in the new and exciting areas at the forefront of Science, Technology and Innovation, greatly strengthens national capacity and enables Irish researchers and research-based SMEs stay at the forefront of knowledge.
Strategy & Directives
Our work supports the implementation of a number of EU Directives including the Water Framework Directive, Shellfish Water Directive, Marine Strategy Framework Directive, DCMAP (EU Data Collection Multi Annual Programme) and NATURA.
