manufacturing, communications, transport and energy efficiency.
The centre collaborates strongly with its close regional academic partners, UCC, Tyndall National Institute and MTU Kerry and also has a significant collaborative research links with local and regional industries. Through the Enterprise Ireland Technology Gateway program* CAPPA provides a variety of supports for start-ups, small to medium enterprises and multinationals in the region, to strengthen ties and develop in-house expertise within the companies. Areas such as product development and process analysis are key core competencies. CAPPA also provides expertise in understanding the potential funding landscape for collaborative and in-house R&D projects. *The Enterprise Ireland Technology Gateway Programme is co-financed by the Government of Ireland and the European Union through the ERDF Southern, Eastern & Midland Regional Programme 2021-27 and the Northern & Western Regional Programme 2021-27.
Tyndall National Institute
Tydall, University College Cork and Meta
Tyndall National Institute, based in University College Cork, is a leading European deep-tech research centre in integrated ICT (Information and Communications Technology) hardware and systems. Specialising in both electronics and photonics – materials, devices, circuits, and systems.
Meta is teaming up with the European deep-tech research centre Tyndall National Institute for a four- year programme to help advance augmented reality technology. It is understood the programme, which will focus on improving displays for augmented reality, represents a €5 million investment by the social media giant. The research programme will be led by Tyndall’s Professor Paul Hurley, who has been appointed as Meta’s industrial chair in Sem iconductor Technologies at Tyndall and the School of Chemistry at UCC. He will also appoint a team of PhD students from Tyndall to work on the project, alongside Meta. The project will focus on key AR technology such as miniature light display technologies . “The goal of this research engagement with Meta is to investigate heterogeneous systems and determine their impact on efficiency, further informing critical technology adoption in future products,” said Prof Hurley.
