Members and staff of the Southern Regional Assembly (SRA) paid a visit to iCRAG on Thursday 17thDecember. The study visit provided an opportunity to learn about the work of the centre and how it contributes to the aims of the ERDF co-funded regional programme managed by the Assembly. The regional programme has at its core an objective to support world-leading research and development allied with the commercialisation of that research.
iCrag Director, Prof. John Walsh delivered a short talk to the delegation, which was followed by a tour of iCRAG HQ in UCD.
