School of Computer Science: Research is a core activity of the UCD School of Computer Science and is carried out by 40+ academic staff, 30+ postdoctoral researchers and 90+ research postgraduates who contribute to UCD’s high impact rating in publications (59% above the World average from 2004-2014, with the number of publications more than doubling in the same period). School staff are involved in a number of significant nationally-funded research centres, the largest of which are Insight Centre for Data Analytics (www.insight‐centre.org) and Lero - the Irish Software Research Centre (www.lero.ie). UCD plays a leading role in pioneering knowledge transfer and a number of successful spin-out companies have been developed within the School, including Logentries, which was acquired by US company Rapid7 for $68M. The School of Computer Science was the lead institution for 3 EU FP7 People Programmes (VGI_SLAM; CARMESH; MESHTv) and a partner in one other project (IGIT). Additionally, the School of Computer Science led 2 EU FP7 ICT projects (RUBICON; PROSECCO) and was a partner in 7 (CARMEN; COCONUT; ENGRAVE; FIERCER; HOBNET; COBWEB; WHIM). Currently the School is coordinating a H2020 MSCA ITN (TEAM), a DG-CONNECT (AHA) and is a partner on Horizon 2020 projects (including ASGARD; BIG O) and a SESAR Joint Technology Initiative (AURORA)
