From time to time this Department provides funding from one or more of its three competitive public good research funding programmes (FIRM, Stimulus & CoFoRD) to facilitate participation of researchers in Irish public research organisations (RPOs) in Calls run by ERA-NETs of significant relevance to the Agri-Food (including Forestry) sector such as EMIDA, WOODWISDOM and ICT-AGRI. Overall funding will be limited to a set ceiling for each eligible Call and intending applicants will have to adhere to a set of national eligibility criteria. Details of funded Calls will be posted on the Department website as they arise and Research Offices of relevant Irish public RPOs will be alerted via email.
