Questions about funding in Ireland

Can a Romanian company apply for programmes in Ireland?

As a rule, national and regional programmes in Ireland are intended for organisations established there (registered office, subsidiary or local unit). Some research and cooperation calls accept partners from other Member States. The exact conditions are set out in each programme's guide, and each card links to the official page. The European Commission calls below are open directly to Romanian entities as well.

Where does the data about Ireland come from?

From 3 official state sources (national agencies, ministries, funding portals), checked daily: Enterprise Ireland – Funding & Grants (supports); HRB Grant schemes; Research Ireland – Funding Programmes. Titles and summaries are machine-translated; the official text remains the one in the original language.

The list is generated automatically from official sources and does not replace the call guide. Check the conditions and deadlines on the official page before applying. For programmes in Romania, see the national funding calendar.

Would you like to apply for a programme in Ireland?

We will tell you whether you qualify (including through a subsidiary or partners there) and write the application for you — for national programmes and for European Commission calls.
