The event will provide a general introduction to the theme of R&D and will emphasise the importance of R&D activity to Irish Construction companies. It is also the first opportunity for CITA members to fully engage in the idea of initiating some form of R&D within their business. This event will see the launch of the R&D Information Booklet which is the first in the R&D booklet series. The information booklet is titled "Funded R&D for Construction Businesses in Ireland”. The event will also showcase the initial results of the CITA R&D Survey 2011 through the use of a visual presentation. |

The objective of these events is to inform members of the funding opportunities available and to encourage CITA members to make tender bids and win tender contracts.
These events will address topics such as: how to get started, funding eligibility criteria, how and where to apply for funding, sourcing your first tender opportunity, making your first tender bid, and securing and winning a tender.
Useful information such as contact points, websites, and contact details of relevant organisations will also be made available to CITA members.
These events will showcase the various R&D funding opportunities available to CITA members such as Enterprise Ireland's funding, and opportunities within Europe such as funding under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) and EUREKA. |

Thursday 29th November |
The final R&D event in 2012 will inform CITA members of the methods of sourcing and securing strong consortium partners for tender proposals. This is an important element of winning tender contracts. This event will highlight the importance of the collaboration of CITA member companies for tender bids and using their combined contacts to secure strong partners from Ireland and further afield. |
