Dr. Guangbo Hao, School of Engineering, succeeds in the Irish Research Council Ulysses Scheme 2015

12 Jan 2016

The programme "Ulysses" is designed to support new research collaborations between Irish and French researchers. It is named Ulysses after James Joyce’s famous novel to celebrate the Joycean links between Ireland and France. The programme facilitates the exchange of innovative ideas and approaches between Irish and French researchers and the development of mutual research projects involving young Irish researchers visiting France and reciprocal visits involving young French researchers to Ireland.

This is a highly competitive scheme. A total of 59 eligible applications were received and evaluated jointly with our partners in Campus France with the collaboration of the French Embassy.  14 applications were recommended for funding.
