The Irish Centre for Composites Research (IComp) was established in 2010 under the Technology Centre initiative of Enterprise Ireland and IDA Ireland.
Hosted by the University of Limerick (UL), IComp's mission is to underpin the growth of the Irish composites industry through research focused on the critical requirements of a number of industrial sectors including aerospace, automotive, renewable energy generation and construction.
IComp has a growing list of industrial partners across the island of Ireland including multi-nationals and indigenous SMEs - see the Industry Partners page for details.
IComp draws on nearly two decades of composites research experience at UL together with a comprehensive range of modern processing equipment and test facilities available through the Materials and Surface Science Institute (MSSI).
IComp also can draw on the experience of partner university University College Dublin (UCD) in the areas of adhesion and surface engineering.
