The University of Limerick has announced a research scholars' programme costing £8.36 million. UL is to appoint four senior professors and 20 research fellows who will be dedicated to research - mainly in advanced technological areas - over the next five years.

The research scholars' positions will be advertised internationally and will be open to academics of all ages. The long-term aim of the programme is to integrate the research teams permanently into UL.
