Multi-million euro boost for sensor research

Abstract:
A typical CSET is not based in one central location, but instead consists of a team or researchers around the country managed by the likes of Professor Smyth. In total, over 90 personnel will work as part of the Clarity centre, with 45 PhD students graduating as a result.

"You are getting a new type of graduate, someone who understands not just the software but also the hardware and also the application side of this technology. It is really about preparing a new generation of researchers for life outside of academia and into knowledge industry," said Professor Smyth.

One of the more prominent CSETs in recent times is CRANN -- the Centre for Research on Adaptive Nanostructures and Nanodevices. It focuses on advancing the frontiers of nanoscience.
