  • New Connections IV: Exploring Ireland’s International Marine Research Partnerships
    Marine Institute (Marine Institute, 2022)
    This report presents the Irish participation in European Union (EU) funded and co-funded collaborative marine-related projects from 2014–2020. For the purpose of this report, the following programmes were analysed: Horizon 2020, Interreg V, European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST), Erasmus+, LIFE and European Maritime and Fisheries Fund3 (EMFF). Over the 2014–2020 period, Irish organisations (see Annex 2) participated in 314 marine-focused collaborative projects resulting in over €158 million total grant-aid for Irish organisations4.

  • New Connections II: A Review of Irish Participation in EU Marine Research Projects 2011-2013.
    O’Reilly, Elizabeth; Molloy, Eoin; O’Sullivan, Geoffrey (Marine Institute, 2014)
    New Connections II (2011-2013) complements its predecessor New Connections (2007-2010) published in 2011, and together they record the success of the Irish marine research community in competitive EU funded programmes such as FP7, INTERREG-IV, LIFE+, COST and the Lifelong Learning Programme. Over the period 2007-2013, 111 Irish marine research groups (including SMEs) participated in 210 marine related EU funded marine projects winning grant aid of over €70m.

  • Blue Growth and Horizon 2020, competitive marine/maritime research funding opportunities in the Horizon 2020 programme (2014-2020)
    O’Reilly, E.; O’Sullivan, G. (Marine Institute, 2014)
    The EU Blue Growth Strategy (2012) is the EU’s long term strategy to support sustainable growth in the marine and maritime sectors. The Blue Growth Strategy recognises that the European seas and oceans are central to the European economy with great potential for innovation, economic growth and job creation. The Blue Growth Strategy is the Integrated Maritime Policy’s contribution to achieving the goals of the Europe 2020 Strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. Implementation of the Blue Growth Strategy, including sea-basin strategies such as the EU Atlantic Action Plan (2014-2020)2, can be supported by EU co-funding programmes such as Structural and Cohesion Funds (e.g. INTERREG, Smart Specialisation, etc.), Horizon 2020, European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF), etc. Horizon 2020 (2014-2020)is the financial instrument implementing the Innovation Union, a Europe 2020 flagship initiative aimed at securing Europe’s global competitiveness. The €80 billion Horizon 2020 Programme (2014-2020) for research and innovation is part of the drive to create new growth and jobs in Europe. Horizon 2020 will tackle societal challenges by helping to bridge the gap between research and the market by, for example, helping innovative enterprise to develop their technological breakthroughs into viable products with real commercial potential. This market-driven approach will include creating partnerships with the private sector and Member States to bring together the resources needed.

  • New Connections: Exploring Ireland’s International Marine Research Partnerships
    O’Sullivan, Geoffrey; Nic Aonghusa, Caitriona; Kenny, Aine (Marine Institute, 2011)
    New Connections is a directory of Irish participation in EU funded marine research projects over the period 2007-2010. It contains a profile of each of the 98 co-operative and competitive projects that involve Irish partners under the FP7 Programme (64 projects), the INTERREG-IV Programme (32 projects), the Life+ Programme (1 project) and the Erasmus Mundus Programme (1 project). Each profile outlines the aims and objectives of the project, the project partnership and the Irish participants. New Connections (2011) is a companion publication to Oceans of Opportunity II (April 2007) which described Irish participation in the EU 6th Framework Programme (FP6) over the period 2002-2006.
