Dr Susan Leahy, Dr John Lombard, and Lucy Davis were successful in securing funding for their respective research projects under the Irish Research Council New Foundations scheme.
The New Foundations scheme supports eligible researchers who intend to pursue research, networking and/or dissemination activities within and across the diversity of disciplines. This scheme provides support for research actions, the development of networks and consortia, conference and workshop development, and creative approaches to the communication of scientific concepts and/or complex societal challenges for a lay audience.
