Project Abstract
The RemanIre project will provide a roadmap to support Ireland’s development as a global centre of excellence for remanufacturing. The project concept is inspired by the triple helix model of innovation which refers to a set of interactions between government, industry and academia to foster economic and social development. The triple helix model has been used as a lens through which evolving relationships between university, industry and government can be analysed and acknowledges that industrial development can advance much more rapidly when all three of these sectors align. Industries will clearly be the ones undertaking the remanufacturing, governments aim to create the right conditions for industries to thrive, and universities can provide education, research, and technology transfer specific to the area. We will develop and implement a method of exploring remanufacturing from the perspective of each of these sectors where they will reflect on their own role in advancing this agenda and identifying what they would expect from the other sectors to accelerate the growth of the overall activity of remanufacturing. Our work is primarily focused on supporting policy makers and others involved in business supports who can create the conditions for a remanufacturing sector to thrive.
