Cúram receives €14 million in funding to drive medical device research.

Cúram, a research centre for medical devices run by the Science Foundation Ireland (SFI), has received €14 million in EU funding to support the development of the field’s future pioneers.

The most recent investment, will result in the creation of 50 postdoctoral fellowship positions with a five-year term. Fellows are free to select their supervisor and secondment organisation as well as any study topic falling within Cúram’s purview.

The co-funding programme involves €7.1m from the European Union and €6.8m from CÚRAM to launch MedTrain+, an enhanced innovative Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action training programme.

University of Galway serves as the host university for Cúram, which has academic partners at ten Irish higher education institutions. All of the partner institutions will host the new postdoctoral research slots.

This award adds to the significant financing generated by Cúram researchers, who have received over €70 million in EU funding over the course of the institution’s first eight years.
