AceResearch is an Irish research and consultancy startup. It brings expertise in digital technologies, smart agriculture, citizen science, and education and training, drawing on experience in academic research, industry and international collaboration.
Its aim is to contribute to Horizon Europe projects addressing sustainable agriculture and environmental monitoring. Its role is to support research and innovation activities aligned with the objectives and expected outcomes of individual calls, combining technical expertise with participatory approaches and attention to practical needs.
A transdisciplinary perspective underpins its work. Experience in citizen science and stakeholder engagement supports the involvement of citizens, civil society and end users in research design and implementation, where appropriate. Expertise in adult education, transformative learning and curriculum development provides complementary capabilities in training, capacity building and knowledge exchange.
The company is also establishing a farm-based experimental site for technology testing and validation in smart agriculture and environmental monitoring. Subject to its stage of development and project requirements, the site is intended to support collaborative research in real-world conditions, alongside education and training activities.
AceResearch seeks clearly defined roles within consortia, contributing expertise that complements that of academic, industrial, public-sector and civil-society partners. Depending on project requirements, its contribution may encompass proposal preparation, research methodology, technical development, stakeholder engagement, research management, dissemination and communication.
AceResearch is prepared to take ownership of a task within a proposal. We would also consider taking ownership of a work package, depending on the nature of the call. However, we are not in a position to coordinate a proposal. We are particularly open to joining consortia where we could meaningfully utilise our farm.
