These centres of education offer international quality R&D facilities and the science and engineering education for the specialised graduates necessary to maintain the competitiveness of the Science and Technology sector in Ireland. These colleges co-operate where appropriate with the best European research centres.
Science Recruitment has already formed direct working links to many of these institutions, and is continually working to expand and improve our relationships with both students and staff.
Additionally, many of these colleges can accommodate the needs of developing companies within their educational programmes and can collaborate successfully with them to address these needs.
The universities also provide high quality "training through research" to create a pool of skilled postgraduates. Industrial manufacturers can draw upon these graduates to help develop and strengthen their own R&D capability.
