    Descriptionive researchers at University of Galway have been awarded funding from Research Ireland in a special investment in projects aligned with national priorities.

    As part of the Research Ireland Pathway programme, the five projects will, investigate climate misinformation in Ireland; analyse gender balance in Irish opera productions; determine the response of microbial communities to environmental change; re-define interpretations of obscure medieval texts; and study the seismic vibrations of highly magnetised neutron stars.

    The funding, covering a four-year period, will support the researchers to further establish their careers and allow for a postgraduate student to each project.

    The Pathway programme is a national investment announced by Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, James Lawless T.D., with more than €3.2m awarded to University of Galway
