WELCOME to the energy research Centre (ERC)

The Energy Research Centre (ERC), within the Ryan Institute at NUI Galway, aims to engage in research, education and outreach in the fields of Energy and Environment.  The Centre brings together >100 academic staff and researchers, from NUI Galway's Colleges of Science; Engineering and Informatics; Arts, Social Sciences and Celtic Studies; Law; and Commerce, along with many key national and international collaborators, to form an integrating Energy Research Centre, under the auspices of the Ryan Institute – the first such initiative nationally.

The aims of the ERC are to generate synergies between established research activities within NUI, Galway and to further develop and enhance the Institute’s internationally recognised research strengths and profile. Ongoing and planned research is organized into four thematic research groups:

• Bioenergy Research Group
• Renewable Resources Group
• Energy Efficient Technologies Group
• Energy and Society Group

The perspective of the Centre is multi-deisciplinary and systems-oriented, and the activities fo the Research Groups underpin some of modern society's most challenging problems.
