Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation
IBEC and Science Foundation Ireland: Discussion
Dr. Ruth Freeman:
I echo what has been said. We run a programme called the industry research, development and innovation fellowship programme, which fully funds a researcher to embed in a company. What has been said about administration is the key point. That is what companies say to us. There is time and effort involved when SMEs have 500 other things to do. We have tried to cut down the administration of that programme. We have tried to make the calls faster and more flexible.
