The session is an opportunity to hear directly from DTIF and TU Dublin about the fund, what makes a strong project, and how researchers can approach developing an application.
What to expect
Gerard Lande will provide an overview of DTIF and share practical insight into the application process, including what the fund is looking for and considerations for researchers developing potential projects.
Dr Paul Maguire will also outline the support available within TU Dublin and the role of Innovation and Knowledge Transfer in helping researchers develop industry-focused funding opportunities.
The presentation will be followed by a Q&A, giving attendees the opportunity to ask questions about DTIF and the application process.
Bring your project ideas
If you already have a potential DTIF project in mind, there will also be an opportunity to discuss it directly with Gerard.
Gerard will be available after the presentation and Q&A to speak with attendees about their individual projects and ideas, making this a valuable opportunity to get early feedback and guidance before progressing an application. As there are already several meetings booked, advance booking is required for anyone wishing to speak with Gerard individually after the session.
Whether you have a fully developed project concept or are simply exploring whether DTIF could be a good fit for your research, we encourage you to attend.
Come along, hear directly from DTIF, ask your questions and find out how to take the next step with your project.
