Is it possible for companies in Ireland to come together and set up their own institute or does it have to go through a university or institute of technology to draw down funding for research? My understanding is that it is not possible and that we are one of the only countries in Europe that has that scheme. In other countries, companies can collaborate and set up a research institute.
