Science Foundation Ireland launches new 2025 strategy

An Taoiseach Micheál Martin TD, and Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, Simon Harris TD launch SFI’s new strategy to 2025, Shaping Our Future. The new strategy has been developed to unlock the potential of Irish research to meet current challenges, seize future opportunities and support the priorities outlined in Ireland’s recent Programme for Government: Our Shared Future.

SFI’s new strategy has two core ambitions:

• Delivering Today: To deliver on our vision for Ireland we will develop more top talent, build on Ireland’s excellent research base, and maximise the tangible benefits for our economy and society, addressing current challenges and supporting quality jobs and a competitive economy.
• Preparing for Tomorrow: As a small country, Ireland can best compete by developing a cohesive research ecosystem capable of taking first mover advantage in new and emergent fields. We will identify and develop the future skills required for Ireland’s future economy and society. SFI’s new strategy emphasises anticipating what’s next and adapting our approach to lead in these new areas of discovery. To achieve this, SFI will engage and collaborate more widely and deeply with all stakeholders.
