A meeting of the Young Academy Ireland at 19 Dawson Street. There are four individuals visible, engaging in conversation and smiling. The setting has a classic feel with a background that includes a bookshelf filled with books, suggesting the event might be taking place in a library or a room with a traditional decor.

Young Academy Ireland

Young Academy Ireland (YAI) is an interdisciplinary organisation of early-career researchers and innovators that brings together individuals who will work collaboratively for the benefit of society.

Our Work

We believe that the best research should also be available to the public. We promote this research to introduce Irish and international experts to the public.

The Royal Irish Academy currently runs nine academic research programmes at the leading edge of scholarship in their disciplines.
