Stephen Flinter’s Summary
Steve is a Scientific Programme Manager within Science Foundation Ireland (SFI). SFI is an agency of the Irish Government tasked with funding top-tier academic research within Ireland.
My personal remit is to manage most of the proposals and projects within the software area in SFI's portfolio. This includes 4 centres (each of whom have a budget in excess of €10m): DERI, Lero, CNGL and CLARITY.
In addition to the large centres I am responsible for many Principal Investigator grants, and a number of the big SFI programmes. Most recently, I was involved in the design, development and launch of the SFI Stokes Lectureship and Professorship Programme.
