University Designated Research Centres (UDRCs)
The UDRC programme allows research teams with sufficient critical mass to achieve, following formal review, the status of a University Designated Research Centre (UDRC). This facilitates the identification and branding of significant areas of research expertise at DCU and in turn provides support mechanisms to enable expansion of the research activities and prioritisation in infrastructure investment plans.
