The goal of the RI ARC Hubs Programme is to establish a new model for regional innovation and entrepreneurial training, and to accelerate the translation of early-stage, cutting-edge research towards commercial application at a regional level.
The realisation of the programme will be through the establishment of regional RI ARC Hubs in thematic areas that will be aligned with the respective regional strategic priorities and the National Smart Specialisation Strategy.
The RI ARC Hubs, as a distributed consortium of Research Bodies, will create regional ecosystems focused on optimising research translation and training future entrepreneurs through establishing new academic networks and bringing together stakeholders, while leveraging existing supports, as appropriate. The RI ARC Hub Programme will enhance and accelerate the commercialisation of research to create new products, processes and services.
The primary objectives of RI’s ARC Hubs programme are:
Following agreement with Member State DG Desk and Research Ireland launched a new call was launched following the unsuccessful first call for the NW Region ARC Hub. The call seeks applications for an ARC Hub located exclusively within the NW Region and will conclude with an award by end June 2025 with a four and a half year funding period. One submission has been received which will be assessed through Research Irelands agreed assessment and evaluation protocols.
A dedicated call for an ARCH hub in the Northern & Western Region was launched in June of 2024 following an unsuccessful first call.
An award will be made following extensive assessment and review in summer 2025 should there be a successful submission.
