2020 Vision
In 2020, the Irish marine sector
will sell into specialised global
and local markets in a dynamic,
innovative and
technologically driven
manner, by means of strong
industry research partnerships, a
skilled workforce and a
strategic capability that
responds to markets and
technology. It will be
internationally recognised for its
high quality marine
environment and characterised
by coherent policy and
regulation.
Must Deliver
Research Leading to:
Growth
Competitiveness
New business opportunities
Environmental Sustainability
Key Objectives

7.
Increase the economic value of the indigenous marine sector
New business start-ups in new industries that have yet to be
developed e.g. Wave and tidal energy generation, Biotechnology,
Environmental Goods and Services, ICT etc.
Enable development to occur in compliance with the principles of
environmental sustainability, whist improving our
understanding of the marine environment;
Build new marine related research capacity and capabilities to
add to enhance our knowledge base and establish stronger third
level industry links;
Contribute to improvements in the development of public sector
policy making, regulation and planning;
Create new opportunities and increased economic activity in
Ireland’s coastal communities related; and
Develop greater co-operation between North and South by
developing joint marine initiatives that benefit the island of
Ireland.

• Key Objectives
- to develop overall research capacity particularly in priority
areas of geoscience research as outlined in the National
Geoscience Programme, 2007-2013.
1. To facilitate open access to GSI data on a web-enabled
basis
2. To establish an Irish Geoscience Graduate
Programme (IGGP) on an all-island basis
3. To produce and distribute geoscience
outreach products to primary and/or
secondary schools throughout the island of
Ireland
4. To conduct high quality research on key
geoscience areas
- to attract mobile young researchers from abroad to Ireland.

• R&D and innovation deals with
‘future potential’ and ‘opportunity’
thus much of the information
required to prioritise projects is at
best uncertain and at worse very
unreliable
Any 10 year planning period is
one in which existing trends can
be fostered, the seeds of future
developments planted and dreams
encouraged”
