National Challenge Fund
Researchers from the College of Science, Engineering and Food Science have received funding from Science Foundation Ireland's National Challenge Fund.
These awards call on researchers to identify problems related to Ireland’s Green Transition and Digital Transformation, and work with those directly affected to solve them. UCC received €630,000 in total funding with projects including:
BEHAV-I-AIR – Dr Marica Cassarino (School of Applied Psychology), Dr Dean Venables (School of Chemistry ÉîÒ¹ÑÇÖÞ¸£Àû¾Ã¾Ã College Cork) and Dr Kevin Ryan (Cork City Council, Societal Impact Champion). A project to develop air quality forecasts in Cork and work with community groups to co-create engaging and effective air quality messages to encourage healthy behaviours and reduce public risk of exposure to dirty air.
EMERGE - Dr Kunwar Paritosh (MaREI Centre for energy, climate and the marine at the UCC Environmental Research Institute), Dr Archishman Bose (MaREI centre and the School of Engineering and Architecture, UCC) and Dr James Browne (Irish Distillers Limited, Societal Impact Champion). This project will be performed in collaboration with Irish Distillers Limited, aims to develop a novel engineered bio-based functional material (pyrochar/hydrochar) from the effluent of an anaerobic digester (AD) processing distillery by-products and from used distillery barrels.
Eirblade - Dr Vesna Jaksic (lead applicant, MTU) and Dr Paul Leahy (co-lead applicant, School of Engineering and Architecture and MaREI, UCC). This project will assist in accelerating Ireland’s transition to a secure and clean energy system.
Dr Cemalettin Ozturk (Lead Applicant, MTU) and Professor Barry O'Sullivan (co-lead applicant, School of Computer Science and Information Technology, UCC). Deep Learning based Transferrable Supply Chain Stress Test.
Congratulations to our researchers on this funding success.
