EU Funded Projects

In 2017, ADAPT continued to maintain a strong presence in ICT while simultaneously pursuing research opportunities in related fields. For the first time, the Centre received funding for two out of six projects from the Connecting Europe Facility, and made further inroads into the Marie Sklodowska-Curie actions, receiving funding under the Innovative Training Network (ITN) category.

In 2016, ADAPT won funding for seven projects, six of which were financed by the EU. ADAPT also made significant inroads into the Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions (MSCA) with the Centre collaborating with two other Trinity based research institutions, AMBER and CONNECT, to win a large-scale COFUND to finance a brand-new, post-doctoral programme, EDGE.

Two of the six projects funded in 2015 were coordinated by ADAPT. These projects are significant in showing the capacity ADAPT has to take a leadership role in ICT research in the EU, facilitate new collaborations and realise new research projects. The Centre also succeeded in expanding research to ICT related fields such as Security, Energy and Digital Humanities as seen in two projects financed under the Societal Challenges category of Horizon 2020.
