Advocates for R&D Awareness

Our R&D advocates can provide you with up to three days technical consultancy to help your company to

  • Understand the R&D process
  • Establish the right strategy
  • Identify the right project(s) for your company 
  • Develop a project plan
  • Apply for funding

Eligibility

Your company is eligible to apply if:

  • spends not more than €65,000 a year on R&D now or
  • has not spent more than €130,000 a year over the last three years, 

How it works

  • Individual companies commission a consultancy firm of their choice from our panel of three.  A consultant from the selected firm will provide your company with technical consulting for up to three days.
  • The maximum allowable daily rate will be €900 plus VAT at 21% and expenses. Your company will pay €320 plus VAT at 21% per day towards these costs and Enterprise Ireland will pay the balance.
  • Your payment will be made directly to the technical consultant you have chosen.
  • If your consulting assignment finishes after the first half day you do not pay a fee.

If you are interested in this, you might also be interested in our R&D Stimulation Grant.
