About the Centre

This Centre is a new partnership between Ward & Burke and the University of Galway applying first principles and data-driven engineering to primary infrastructure. The Centre brings together academic research, physical testing and AI technologies to transform how infrastructure is designed, built and operated to address real challenges in a rapidly changing world. The Centre will also create scholarships and research and innovation opportunities for the next generation of engineers.
