 All right, so you've heard from no you've heard just from some of our researchers about about some of the work that we've done I'm not going to talk too much about that and I'm going to talk through the economic report that we're Launching today, it's available on our website and I'll talk through some of the other types of things that we're able to do with an insight so So this is a small number of the the kind of numbers that you can see So this is an independent economic report that we commissioned Which took our own numbers and our own outputs and compared them to see it to CSO norms And what you can see is over the ten years We have taken in more than 200 million in direct investment through exchequer non-exchequer and also industry funding And when you look at this what that gives us is The investment or the multiplier effect if you like is 5.54 which equates to every euro that comes into insight brings in 554 into the Irish economy which gives us this 1.1 billion euro impact to the Irish economy Over the past ten years. So we're looking forward to seeing how that grows over the next five to ten years In addition to that, you know, we people ask well, where is the research where where is it going? What can I see about your research? So in that time frame we've spun out 14 companies that use our research and they are actually hiring or there They have employment of a hundred and seventy workers in the Irish workforce And they have brought in an additional investment over four hundred million euros to the Irish economy So as you can see what what we've been doing over the past ten years is impacting on a social and also an economic benefit to Ireland and again We look forward to seeing how we can continue to contribute positively to Ireland in the Irish economy But at the you know what we've heard from today is we do great research But it's really all about the people and it's not just the researchers But it's also the the backroom people. So it's the operations team of which I'm proud of and also the research administration teams in our Universities and the institutions that were part of and they are the ones that help really remove the barriers They overcome the legal the economic challenges that we have so we can continue to do first of its kind research And we continue to move the barriers of what's possible and some examples of things that we've done over the past number of years include in 2017 Insight connect and Liro came together to create the first multi-centre spoke through the SFI spokes program Enable was a project that brought together the Irish community of researchers working on internet of things and smart cities to share ideas experience and drive collaboration at a national level And this type of spoke had never been done before there was no template and But by bringing together the right people who had the commitment the openness and the creativity We were able to get it done and today then insight we move forward with these things as you know We're a data analytics center data is important to us but something that hasn't been done before and is Getting data sets from one company and being able to move them across institutions so that more and more researchers can get Involved in figuring out impactful ways to use that data and to bring it into their research So we're proud to to kind of talk about the fact that we've now Put together a contract with DPD where we are able to move data sets across six institutions We have 13 research academics and their teams involved now in a large project That will be worth over a million euros and across the timeline of the project in terms of the data set worth to us and the projects that vary from Stress testing sensors for air quality monitoring to identifying air quality trends in urban environments and there we Anticipate many more applications coming out of those projects over the over the next number of years And much of the success really for insight and continuing to have long and lasting Relationships with all of our collaborators is because over the years We've continued to build capacity in new areas while trying while staying true to our commitment to advance the fundamentals of data science It is this ability to be flexible and evolve beyond what is expected of a traditional data analytics center and continue to push the Boundaries of the AI revolution that has given us some of our most diverse and unexpected Projects and brought as new collaborators in in in in areas such as nutrition the arts and the social sciences Our multidisciplinary also facilitates a new and compelling approach to education and public engagement some of you may have seen some of the work out on the put out on the televisions earlier today and But some of the work that we've been involved in include the miasma play Which was an interdisciplinary project that used drama and debates to provide historical and contemporary Perspective on the scientific conflict surrounding cholera in the 1850s and the parallels that we had with the COVID-19 pandemic Over the past four years insight has engaged three artists and residents to work with our researchers to develop standalone art installations immersive video projects and other artworks related to topics as diverse as Exploration of the neurological impacts of self-drive vehicles to the relationship between humans and the natural environment and how we can reduce our negative impact on it It is this diversity that also attracts researchers to us insight has always been a supporter of career progression and Identifying new opportunities for our research community and we have contributed 238 new PhDs and 216 postdoctoral researchers into the research ecosystem Our academics are also strongly involved in four of the six SFI centres for research training programs, which will graduate 700 PhD students by 2026 We also collaborate with the future Neuros Centre on a Marie Curie co-fund called Neuro Insight Which will bring 33 postdoctoral researchers who we will develop and train as the next generation of AI enabled Neuroscientists these are some of the things that we could never envision at the first or the second iteration of our research Program over the last ten years, but we were happy to support and inform as the needs of the country and other areas of research changed The ability to step up at times when we are needed to support a national priority and apply our expertise is something that insight does time and again Some of our national bodies currently have difficulty in keeping pace with the AI revolution And we are happy to have strategic partnerships with various national bodies Which include the GAA the Marine Institute and the HSE and we have been able to work partner with them on their Digitalization journey by embedding some of our researchers with these organizations This allows our researchers to learn how to apply their academic knowledge in real-world context We get to share with the teams on the ground what the current state of the art looks like and we're able to work with Them and give them the best what best workarounds for them given their specific contexts and also their specific limitations Working with new initiatives and organizations and sharing what we know Gives insight a unique perspective into the types of challenges that exist in data science and AI and need further exploration Over the past number of years insight has used some of our own core funding to back ourselves on our research Answer our own research questions and invest to integrate the wider Irish community and shortly Yvonne Smith will Talk to you about some of the projects that we've recently funded But you've heard enough from me So let's hear from some of our national and international collaborators and in their own words You'll hear how working with insight has helped them to progress their own strategy and help solve their own challenges. Thank you
