Government of Ireland Postgrad Scholarship Scheme
The Irish Research Council Government of Ireland Postgraduate Scholarship Scheme including the Enterprise Partnership and the Andrew Grene Scholarships 2013-14
The Irish Research Council has launched the 2013-2014 round of its Government of Ireland Postgraduate Scholarship Scheme, including the Enterprise Partnership and the Andrew Grene Scholarships. Following the merger of IRCHSS and IRCSET the Irish Reserch Council Government of Ireland Postgraduate Scholarship subsumes the previous IRCSET Embark Scholarship and IRCHSS Government of Ireland Postgraduate Scholarship.
The Council funds excellent researchers across all disciplines and encourages interdisciplinary research and engagement with enterprise. The Council facilitates the career development of researchers by funding those at an early stage of their research career to associate with established research teams who have achieved international recognition for their work. The Council aims to support an expertise-driven research system in order to enhance Ireland’s innovation capacity and skills base in a rapidly changing global environment where knowledge is key to economic, social and cultural development. The Council is further committed to facilitating the integration of Irish researchers in all disciplines within the European Research Area.
The Council offers three scholarships for suitably qualified individuals to pursue a postgraduate degree at a Higher Education Institution within Ireland, including the Government of Ireland Postgraduate Scholarship, the Enterprise Partnership Postgraduate Scholarship and the Andrew Grene Postgraduate Scholarship in Conflict Resolution.
