Government’s commitment to invest in third-level research can drive climate action. This investment will advance emissions reduction and build climate-resilience strategies.

The commitment has been made. Now, we need action to turn this promise into delivery. #Budget2026

Investment in higher education grows the economy, strengthens public services and delivers solutions to national challenges.
We are calling for urgent action from government in Budget 2026 - This is not a cost, it’s a strategic investment in Ireland’s future.
