Anyone who has recently lost a parent; a close friend; a romantic partner; a child or a sibling, may feel a painful renewal of their past grief, as expressed in the poem “Soulmates” hereunder, especially on this most heart-oriented day of the year, St Valentine’s day.

Soulmates
In a quiet moment,
Thinking of nothing,
In a quiet place,
Where I hear my heart beat.
My soul aches,
For one who is absent,
And I,
Oh, I,
Am so lonely for you.

- EPA announces funding of €14.3m for 33 new research projects to address climate and environmental challenges. This represents a 34 per cent increase in investment from the previous call in 2022.
- EPA funding is building essential research capacity in Ireland with over 40 per cent of lead researcher applicants in 2023 new to the EPA Research Programme.
- The funding covers research in the areas of climate change, the natural environment, the green & circular economy, and the environment & human health.
- Reflecting the need for cross-sectoral research, the EPA is working in partnership with Met Éireann and Geological Survey Ireland to co-fund some of the research.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today announced new funding for Environmental and climate research in Ireland, with funding of €14.3 million awarded for 33 new research projects. This represents a significant increase over previous years and reflects the EPA’s ongoing commitment to funding environmental and climate research. These innovative projects will support the development and implementation of environmental policies in Ireland, as well as building research capacity in strategically important areas.
This funding will support more than 200 research staff across 13 organisations to conduct projects in innovative areas such as:
- how blue light can affect human health and biodiversity.
- societal transformation required to address climate, environmental and social challenges.
- digital twins for coastal areas.
- nature-based solutions for water quality and ecology.
- the circular economy for batteries.
- sustainable tourism.
- air pollution in Irish towns.
Announcing the awards, Ms Laura Burke, (EPA Director General) said: “Scientific research and innovation are playing an increasingly important role in informing how governments and society can respond to the challenges posed by climate change and environmental degradation. The projects announced today will address knowledge gaps, both current and future, to provide robust evidence to support the implementation of effective environmental policies in Ireland.
This EPA funding will also help to build transdisciplinary research capacity and talent in Ireland in key areas relating to sustainability transitions and societal transformations. These specialist skills and expertise are essential to enable Ireland to effectively leverage the full range of environmental, economic and societal opportunities offered by the green transition. I congratulate the successful research teams and look forward to seeing the project outputs making a positive contribution to environmental protection in the years ahead”.
The EPA places a high priority on promoting the uptake of funded research to inform policy and to maximise the impact of research and innovation. Reflecting the need for an integrated, cross-sectoral approach, the EPA is working in partnership with Met Éireann and Geological Survey Ireland to co-fund a number of projects.
Of the successful lead research applicants supported through the call, over 40% had not previously applied for funding to the EPA, broadening the base of the researchers and institutions engaging in research relevant to environmental policy.
University College Cork (UCC) received the highest number of successful research awards in 2023. Professor Mr John Cryan, (UCC Vice President for Research and Innovation) said: “I would like to thank the Environmental Protection Agency for continuing to award talented researchers. This allows them, through scientific research and innovation, to tackle critical environmental, climate, health, and sustainability issues. These awards will further strengthen UCC’s position as a recognised global leader in the field of Sustainability. Aligned to UCC Futures – Sustainability, these projects will enable UCC researchers to support environmental policies in Ireland, address key societal challenges caused by climate change, and help deliver a healthier environment for all”.
The list of Awards made under the EPA Research Call 2023 is available on the EPA website HERE.
The EPA Research Programme is a Government of Ireland initiative, funded by the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications. The EPA Research Call 2024 will open for applications in April 2024. Details will be made available on the EPA website which can be viewed HERE.
A day to remind us of the importance of love in human relationships.
The Love Of Loving You
Lyrics and Vocals: American folk singer-songwriter Tom Paxton.
The Love Of Loving You
In an unexpected moment I beheld you,
I’d never seen your face, I did not know your name,
Then you came into my life from out of nowhere,
And now absolutely nothing is the same.
Chorus
You are in my heart and in my mind,
Now I’ve known your love, I want no other kind,
I can feel your powers shining through,
And I’m lost in the love of loving you.
It’s so strange the way we live our lives in sorrow,
And the way we let the happiness slip by,
For our eyes are always fixed upon the morrow,
While today is in the corner of our eye.
Repeat Chorus
I was looking for tomorrow when you found me,
My heart was anywhere but in today,
Now the magic of the moment’s all around me,
And I hear the words I always longed to say:
Repeat Chorus.
END
