Our R&D projects enable swift execution and drives innovation toward a carbon-free society.

IMR is a not-for-profit, industry-led Research & Technology Organisation. We are engineers, researchers, makers and mentors who believe progress should be both practical and human. From our labs in Dublin and pilot lines in Mullingar, we partner with organisations across sectors to turn complexity into clarity and ambition into action. 

Since 2014, IMR has grown from small pilot centres into a national home for applied innovation. What’s remained constant is how we work: by listening first, focusing on evidence, and moving forward step by step. We know that transformation is rarely about technology alone — it’s about empowering people, reducing risk, and proving value in ways that last. 

NORCE's research activities are organized into six research divisions, supported by three divisions for staff and operational shared services. In addition, we have three cross-cutting strategic centres within defence, civil security and emergency preparedness, aquaculture, and analysis.

Our goal is to assist in solving major challenges for society, such as climate change, energy transition, the aging population, social inequality and youth exclusion. To facilitate the creation of clear strategies for specific challenges, we have organised our interdisciplinary expertise into four areas of priority.
