UCC's Tyndall Institute to create 20 jobs after €8m funds win

Twenty new research jobs are to be created in the Tyndall National Institute in University College Cork following the award of €8m in funding under a European Union competition.

The Tyndall Institute topped the Irish performance in the EU Information and Communication Technology (ICT) funding announcement.

Tyndall competitively won 12 major non-exchequer funded European projects.

Seven of these projects will be co-ordinated by Tyndall.

This accounts for half of all projects co-ordinated by Ireland in this funding round.

The projects awarded to Tyndall are at the cutting-edge of telecommunications, nanoelectronics, medical devices and environmental monitoring.
