Science Foundation Ireland’s Discover programme has awarded €2.8 million to 42 projects that engage the Irish public in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
Announced on 21 January, the initiatives will help the government deliver on its promise to give Ireland the “most engaged and scientifically informed public” in the world.
