The Ireland Canada University Foundation is a non-profit making organisation established in 1993 for the purpose of encouraging and facilitating links between scholars in Ireland and institutions and scholars in Canada. Its concern is particularly focused upon emerging scholars, and its operation is primarily directed towards the provision of scholarships covering travel costs and short-term visits.

Scholarships
The Foundation advertises its scholarships each year. Valued at CAN$6000 each, they are designed to assist Irish scholars in visiting a Canadian University or institution to undertake research into a topic related to both countries. The scholarship covers travel and accommodation costs.
These awards are designed principally for young scholars who are currently engaged in research in any discipline which is related to both Ireland and Canada, or who are commencing such research. The funding is provided to meet the costs of a three or four week visit to an institution or university in the other country and the precise details for such visits are left to the scholars to decide on and arrange themselves.

The Irish Research Council was formally launched by the Minister for Research and Innovation, Seán Sherlock TD, on 29 March 2012. A sub-board of the Higher Education Authority, the Council was established through a merger of the Irish Research Council for Humanities and Social Sciences (IRCHSS) and the Irish Research Council for Science, Engineering and Technology (IRCSET). Building on the solid foundations laid down by the former Councils, the Irish Research Council will deliver enhanced opportunities and benefits to Irish-based researchers. The Council will thus enable the Irish research community to contribute to the body of global knowledge across a range of disciplines, recognising the importance of research and scholarship for all aspects of social, cultural and economic development.

NUI, National University of Ireland, is a federal university comprising the largest element of the Irish university system at the present time. The continuing mission for NUI in modern Ireland is to provide a supportive framework for its confederate institutions, to promote the objects of the University, thus contributing to educational, cultural, social and economic advancement.
Since its foundation in 1908, the National University of Ireland has been fortunate to receive a number of generous trusts and bequests. These funds have been invested and the income generated has been used to finance Scholarships and Prizes in accordance with the wishes of the benefactors of the University. Over time, the capital value of the University’s funds has been significantly enhanced. In 1998, the Senate, with expert advice, re-structured the NUI portfolio of investments. The combined annual value of NUI awards is now in excess of 0.8 million euro.
An information booklet giving full details of these awards is published annually. It may be obtained from the NUI Office.
