Data Science, Discovery and Advanced Technologies
ADAPT, the SFI Research Centre for AI-driven Digital Content Technology, is a collaboration of leading academics, researchers and industry partners that is driven by a vision of “empowering people for deeper engagement in a digital world”.
ADAPT researchers are based across eight leading Irish Higher Education Institutions: TCD, DCU, UCD, TU Dublin, MU, MTU, NUIG & AIT.
The DCU Advanced Process Technology Research Centre (APT) focuses on state of the art research activities in the areas of Production Technology, Sustainable Technology, Micro and Nano Technology, and Advanced Engineering Materials.
The DCU Centre for Astrophysics & Relativity (CfAR) is a cross-disciplinary Centre which undertakes research into the most fundamental questions of the Universe.
Our research interests include star formation and planet formation, high energy astrophysics, solar physics and space weather, classical general relativity, gravitational waves and quantum field theory on curved space-times.
The mission of the SFI Research Centre for Advanced Manufacturing (I-FORM) is to shape the future of manufacturing through high-impact research into the application of digital technologies to materials processing.
The SFI Research Centre for Data Analytics (INSIGHT) is one of the biggest data analytics centres in Europe. It undertakes high-impact research, seeks to derive value from Big Data and provides innovative technology solutions for industry and society by enabling better decision-making.
The SFI Research Centre for Irish Photonics Integrations (IPIC) focuses on developing new light-enabled technologies. Photonics is a key enabling technology that underpins the internet and affects diverse industries such as medical devices, renewable energy, manufacturing and environmental monitoring.
The SFI Research Centre for Software (LERO) brings together leading software teams from universities and institutes of technology in a coordinated centre of research excellence with a strong industry focus.
