Public Policy
<

We provide policy study services to which we apply our specific knowledge in technology, innovation and research assessments. We support project proposal development and project monitoring and appraisal. Our public policy related services are based on our extensive experience dealing with Irish and European Union public service institutions, and our background in providing policy support and consensus building with industry, the third level sector and government clients.

Policy Study

Steelesrock carry out policy studies of relevance to our core sectors of industry (in particular the SME and FDI arenas), Consulting Engineering, Government, Agri-food and marine. Policy studies include examining the policy context relating to science, research, innovation, economic development and education.

Research Evaluation and Award Management

Steelesrock provide specialist services in the area of research project evaluation and award management. We understand the critical importance of ensuring transparent processes in relation to the distribution of public funds, and can assist our public sector clients in managing the evaluation process for funding calls, and also the formulation of policies in relation funding focus and topic definition.

Project Development and Appraisal

We support public sector clients who wish to run projects that inform policy decision making. In particular we assist in preparing funding proposals, project planning and execution. We also carry out project evaluations on behalf of public sector funders.
