The renewal of a $1.5 million research partnership has been announced today by Intel and Tyndall National Institute in Cork.
The new deal will see Intel investing $1.5m over the next three years in developing innovative technology with Ireland's leading ICT research institute.
The deal will build on the investment of previous phases and reflects the success of their collaborative research.
The partnership, which has gone through two 3-year phases since 2009, will now run until 2018. It will involve a direct relationship between researchers at Tyndall and Intel's components research group in Portland, Oregon.
Under the agreement, Intel and Tyndall will work together to investigate next-generation materials, devices and photonics technologies.
The current phase of the research partnership between Intel and Tyndall National Institute will run until 2018, under the direction of Bernie Capraro, Research Manager, Silicon Technology at Intel Ireland, and Peter Smyth, Business Development Executive at Tyndall.
CEO of Tyndall National Institute, Dr. Kieran Drain said, "It's a great honour for us to have the partnership renewed, and it's a major vote of confidence in the institute. Intel has world-class research partners on its doorstep in the western United States, so the fact that they would come thousands of miles to work with us here at Tyndall is reflective of our ability to offer a valuable alternative viewpoint."
