Film Makers –
Science on Screen

Our ‘Science on Screen’ programme, run in partnership with Ardán (ardan.ie) aims to facilitate, promote and increase the inclusion of science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) content in Irish film and TV production. CÚRAM provides funding and access to leading scientists to explore methods of scientific ‘story telling’ and to produce short films that incorporate current research at CÚRAM and its partners. These documentaries are freely available for community and educational screenings nationwide. A new animation strand, established in 2022 with support from Animation Ireland’s National Talent Academy, funds production of one minute animations that explain core scientific concepts and research project goals.
