Hi everyone
Last week I learned that some of the scientific research projects undertaken at TCD are funded by the US Military Department; one in particular is about improving aspects of US fighter jets.
If this is a small proportion of funding, then it's not really a biggie (even if my anti-US-war heckles are raised) but it made me wonder who funds what in the Ireland's universities and is there anyone overseeing how these projects fit with the national agenda? Does anyone know if these kinds of figures are made public?
Thanks
Rebecca
