First Post
This is my first post to the Science Foundation Ireland blog. I’m Stephen Flinter, a programme officer with SFI, working in the ICT Directorate.
For those of you who don’t know, SFI is an Irish Government agency mandated with funding scientific research in Ireland. We are conceived along the lines of the National Science Foundation in the US.
The purpose of this blog is to provide an insight to what we in SFI do, and to inform our customers (i.e. scientists working in Irish research institutions) how we operate. I would also like to showcase some of the work that our funded scientists are doing, as they appear on the web and in other blogs.
The usual disclaimer: all of the entries in this blog are my own opinion, and are not necessary those of SFI.
