MISHE, the Centre for Mathematical Modelling and Intelligent Systems for Health and Environment, is a multidisciplinary strategic research centre of the Atlantic Technological University.

MISHE brings together researchers from Engineering, Science and Social Science to work together on the application of sensing, modelling and intelligent systems to tackle challenges encompassing the UN Sustainable Development Goals, including climate resilience, sustainable production, clean energy, and quality healthcare for all. More details on MISHE research themes, application areas and researchers can be found here .

The MISHE research centre is funded by an allocation of research overhead income arising from external funding which has been awarded to and drawn down by Principal Investigators of the Centre. The purpose of this call is to reinvest that income into the research centre to build research capacity and to increase the ability of the centre and its members to compete for national and international funding. Specifically to:

1. Focus capital and human resources on MISHE’s research areas, enhancing MISHE and ATU’s research reputation and build research infrastructure.
2. Facilitate MISHE members to build collaborative and project networks and attract collaboration with other partners.
3. Enhance our publication record and presentation of research findings at national and international conferences in focal areas thus increasing our success in funding applications.
4. Increase MISHE research income in the long term by successfully competing for international and national funding.
5. Optimise opportunities for co-funding and collaboration internally.
6. Focus our funding investment.
7. Support short pilot projects which have the potential to develop into viable projects.
