Accessing Trinity Infrastructure

Microscope

Industry has a perpetual requirement to access technologies, equipment and expertise to bolster and advance their research & development activities. The cost and availability of this infrastructure and the technical ability to understand the outputs can be prohibitive. Trinity as a national resource houses one of the largest hubs of industry accessible R&D infrastructure in Ireland. Trinity can make available some of the unique infrastructure and enabling infrastructure to industry as part of collaborative research programmes or service agreements.
