The Royal Irish Academy’s Charlemont Grants are now open for applications.

The Royal Irish Academy strongly supports the promotion, sustainability and communication of Irish research and aims to deliver its own vision of championing Irish research on an international scale. The scheme is open to postdoctoral researchers who are not more than seven years past the awarding of their PhDs at the start of the term of the grant period. The scheme allows postdoctoral researchers to apply for up to €2,500 for a clearly defined piece of research, which will have an identifiable outcome on the completion of the project.*

Common benefits include:
• successful joint publications in prestigious academic journals
• access to training in technology and infrastructures not available in Ireland
• career development of grantees including internal promotions
