UL Invest €52m In New Research And Teaching Project
The University of Limerick has launched a new €52 million research and traning project, which it hopes will attract the world's leading research professors to Ireland.
Atlantic Philanthropies, a major investor in the university, will provide the majority of the money for the new Bernal Project, which is designed to give Ireland the edge in research in the pharmaceutical, biomedical and energy sciences.
New laboratories will be built to house the project, with some 150 jobs expected to be created during construction.
Once built some 75 long-term research and teaching jobs are expected to be created as part of the project.
Five world-class professors have already taken up posts for the project with another five hoping to be recruited.
