The Irish Research Council for Science, Engineering and Technology (IRCSET) operates the Embark Initiative.

Funded by the State under the National Development Plan, the Embark Initiative is aimed at knowledge creation for the long term benefit of society and the economy.

Embark takes a unique approach to funding people and ideas, providing direct financial support for researchers & research students. Its programmes do not target research projects with an industrial or economic focus but instead aim to support researchers in exploring ideas and bringing vision to reality.
