Discoveries to Transform Lives
The Biosciences Development on Pearse Street will redefine the scientific research landscape in Trinity College and will allow Ireland to take an international lead on the delivery of quality pharmaceutical and biotechnology research infrastructure. This will position us in the global competition among the emergent knowledge economies to underpin the attraction of foreign direct investment and to sustain our burgeoning indigenous expertise in this area.
The Biosciences Development received a major capital grant of €55.4 million under the Higher Education Authority Programme for Research in Third-Level Institutions (PRTLI). This was the largest single capital award made under this cycle of investment by the Dept of Enterprise Trade & Innovation to an Irish university. In total, seventeen of Trinity’s submitted proposals were successful, securing funding of €81.9 million, positioning the College as the leading recipient of investment nationally.
