IRU’s mission is to investigate the interaction of science and society. Our projects deal with research and innovation networks on the international, national, regional and sectoral level. IRU's emphasis is on applying new methods to Science and Technology Studies such as agent-based simulation and social network analysis complementing quantitative and qualitative research in the social sciences. Research results shall support policymakers and business managers in facing the economic, social, and political challenges presented by developments in science, technology and innovation. |

This project will undertake cutting-edge research on the
needs of the Irish economy to breed an innovation ecosystem with
optimally structured university-industry-government networks. We will
use computational modelling, informed by large new datasets coming from
empirical research within the proposed project, to investigate the
actors, designs, processes and policies of Irish innovation networks. In
our Computational Policy Lab, we will develop and test optimising
strategies for Irish innovation networks, and work on options for
anticipating and analysing new developments to help the recovery of the
economy. Building on research in traditional fields already firmly
present in Ireland (e.g. tax, healthcare, financial services,
management, industry R&D, policy research), new problem fields for
the Irish Smart Economy (e.g. green economy, public sector innovation,
adaptive policy networks) will be tackled using our novel methodological
framework, which is just emerging as an international research trend: a
“hard science” approach to innovation research concerned with scenario
modelling, simulation and computational network analyses, with the
option of bringing in mathematics (for rigorous controlled computation)
and large-scale empirical analyses (for realistic simulation). This
project is lead by Prof. Petra Ahrweiler of the UCD - Innovation
Research Unit with partners from UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate School of
Business, UCD Centre for Innovation, Technology & Organisation (CITO), UCD Geary Institute and Queens University, Belfast. The Innovation Research Unit has been awarded €1,15M research funding from the Irish Government's PRTLI5 Programme for IPSE.
