During the period 2007-2010, 29 INTERREG-IV projects (including two preparatory actions) with Irish participation were approved for funding. The total value of these projects is circa 75.5m with over 12.3m in grant-aid going to the Irish partners. This directory provides a summary of each of these 29 projects. Many of these projects in turn contribute to the implementation of research, development and innovation priorities identified in Ireland's national Strategy for Science, Technology and Innovation (SSTI: 2006-2013) and its marine component, the Sea Change Strategy (2007-2013). 2010-09-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10468/538 Irish participation in EU FP7 (2007 - 2013) funded competitive marine research projects: 2009 supplement O'Sullivan, Geoffrey; Twomey, Sarah The EU Framework Research Programme (FP), and in the current context the 7th Framework Programme (FP7: 2007-2013), continues to be a major source of competitive R & D funding for Irish marine researchers. The 2009 Supplement provides information on new FP7 research awards granted in 2009 to Irish marine researchers and up-dates the 2007-2008 Report published in June 2009. Seventeen research projects are profiled including three 2008 awards (STANDPOINT, WAVETRAIN II and AIRSEA) and fourteen 2009 awards bringing total participation in FP7 over the period 2007 to 2009 to 43 projects worth over 17.5 million in grant-aid. This figure is already in excess of the 10.6m (59) projects won in the FP6 (2002-2006) Programme and represents 11.5% of the total Irish drawdown to-date (FP7: 2007-2009) of 152.7million 2010-01-01T00:00:00Z
