Summary of Achievements (max. 10 pages) This section of the report should focus on the achievements of the Centre from the start date of the award up to the date of the report submission (Phase 1). It will be incumbent on the Centre to convince the international review panel that the Centre is truly operating as a Centre and has achieved more through the Research Centre with regard to academic collaboration, industry partnership and operating as a collective, than it would have done if a number of individual awards had been made (i.e. the added value and synergy enabled by a Centre award). This section should address the following, but is not limited to: How has the international competitiveness of the Centre increased as a result of the Centre award? How has the international ranking of the Centre improved relative to the global competitors in its field? How has the Centre established its international standing or niche area? How has the Centre provided economic impacts for Ireland e.g. how has the Centre increased industry and commercial investment in R&D? Attracted large Foreign Direct Investments in corporate R&D laboratories? Describe commercialisation and technology transfer achievements. How has the Centre leveraged funding from NE-NC sources? Describe achievements relating to Education and Public Engagement. How has the Centre influenced national and/or international policy? Describe how the Centre has benefitted from collaborating with other SFI Research Centres and any other international or national centres (e.g. NSF Centres, Fraunhofer, EI Tech Centres etc.).
