Abstract
The bursary was run this year for the first time in memory of the late Niamh Burke by her former firm Arthur Cox and her family. The fund was promoted on behalf of her colleagues and family by the Irish Wind Energy Association.
Over a 20-year career Niamh advised on some of Ireland's largest energy, infrastructure and construction projects. To honour her memory and her contribution to the development of renewable energy in Ireland, the bursary was established in 2020 and offers up to €10,000 each year for a period of five years to individuals wishing to study or to carry out research in the field of renewable energy.

Comments
Kelvin will begin a PhD to explore the role of hydrogen in Ireland’s decarbonisation strategy in September 2020 in Dublin City University. He has a background in Production Engineering.
Upon receiving the bursary Kelvin Martins said: “I applied for the Niamh Burke Renewable Energy Bursary because it is a great opportunity for me to do a PhD related to sustainability and climate justice. My studies will start in September 2020 and my project will explore the potential of hydrogen in helping decarbonise the Irish energy system, integrating it with current energy generation technologies. I sincerely hope it will help instigate change in this carbon-intensive world and make a difference in today’s environmental crisis.”
