The Irish Centre for Composites Research (IComp) was established in 2010 under the Competence Centre
initiative of Enterprise Ireland and IDA Ireland. It is hosted by the University of Limerick (UL), which is the
leading composites research establishment in the Republic of Ireland.
IComp is working in partnership with academia and industry across the whole of Ireland with the aim
of transforming Irish participation in the composites industry by focusing on the critical requirements
of a number of industrial sectors including aerospace, automotive, renewable energy generation and
construction.
At UL there is extensive expertise in the science and engineering of composites in the Faculty of Science
and Engineering, which includes a comprehensive range of modern processing equipment and test
facilities, to which IComp has access. Fundamental scientific support is available through the Materials and
Surface Science Institute (MSSI) at UL where there is a suite of state-of-the-art equipment together with
scientific specialists.
