Funding Mechanisms

Tyndall WSN are happy to discuss your innovative idea with you and there are many ways of engaging with us.

Academic Collaborators

Tyndall WSN are always interested in expanding our research collaborators, both national and international. With international academics, we can collaborate through the EU H2020 programme and Tyndall have vast experience and success in this highly competitive sphere. There are also opportunities via the US-Ireland R&D Partnership Programme.

For Irish Collaborators, as well as those above, there are further opportunities to work together via SFI Centres e.g CONNECT/IPIC,or an Enterprise Ireland Commercialisation Fund application.

Industry Collaborators

• Enterprise Ireland have a number of funding mechanisms for companies, both large and small, to engage with researchers. Since Tyndall WSN are an applied research group that make real, working prototypes, even an Innovation Voucher or an Innovation Partnership Feasibility Study could be enough to get a Proof of Concept Demonstrator.
• SFI, in addition to the centres mentioned above, have listed a range of other mechanisms here.
• The Irish Research Council’s suite of Enterprise Programmes are designed to support Enterprise-Academia-Social engagement through exceptional individual researchers
