1 Funding energy and energy efficiency in Ireland - Potential opportunities for future German- Irish collaboration Martin O Connell Tyndall National Institute martin.oconnell@tyndall.ie

2 Tyndall in brief A leading European Research Centre in Integrated ICT (Information and Communications Technology) hardware and systems Established in 2004, created from the National Microelectronics Research Centre (NMRC) Est UCC/DJEI established Researchers from UCC, CIT & Industry Host to Our Expertise: - Smart Sensors & Systems - Optical Communication Systems - Mixed Signal & Analog Circuit Design - Microelectronic & Photonic Integration - Semiconductor Wafer Fabrication - Nano Materials & Device Processing Applications

3 Applications Healthcare: Longer, healthy lives Communications: Efficient, reliable Energy: Protected, safe, secure Agri, Food, Environment: Sustainable, secure

4 Micro & Nano Systems Integrated Nanomaterials Devices Application- Specific Circuits Smart System Integration Atomistic Modelling & Simulation Agile Wafer-scale Fabrication & Processing Bottom-up Synthesis & Processing Sensors Energy Storage Energy Harvesting Actuators Switches Memory Devices Emerging Device Design Data Converters Ultra Wideband radar RF Circuit Design Mixed Signal Electronics Wireless Sensor Networks Autonomous Sensor Systems Application-Specific Packaging Power-Supply-On- Chip

5 Research centres We collaborate and share our world-class facilities with four research centres: Ireland s flagship research centre for communications networking, services, applications and technologies with a mission to research, develop and innovate solutions to the communications challenges facing society. World leading industry-led analogue and mixed-signal circuits research centre. 17 projects with 25 companies span applications from high end computing to medical devices. Developing next generation highly compact and miniturised photonic components and systems. Working from low volume prototype production and testing, to developing faster and more energy-efficient optical communication systems, smart optically-enabled medical devices and novel sensors for environmental monitoring. Delivering world leading collaborative research to meet global societal needs for secure, affordable and sustainable energy services.
