THE ROYAL IRISH ACADEMY IS IRELAND'S LEADING BODY OF EXPERTS IN THE SCIENCES AND HUMANITIES

The Royal Irish Academy/Acadamh Ríoga na hÉireann champions research. We identify and recognise Ireland’s world class researchers. We support scholarship and promote awareness of how science and the humanities enrich our lives and benefit society. We believe that good research needs to be promoted, sustained and communicated. The Academy is run by a Council of its members. Membership is by election and considered the highest academic honour in Ireland.

Culture Night 2023

15 August 2023

We are delighted to announce that the Royal Irish Academy will once again be participating in Culture Night on Friday 22 September 2023 and will be open to the public from 17:00 to 21:00.

Come and explore the Royal Irish Academy - a hidden Georgian gem tucked away on Dawson Street. View the earliest example of Irish writing - the 6th century Cathach, have a go at some ogham writing and colouring (suitable for 4-12 years) and visit our current exhibition; browse the pop-up bookshop; delve into the maps and texts from the Irish Historic Towns Atlas programme; learn how dictionaries are made with the Dictionary of Irish Biography, and the Dictionary of Medieval Latin from Celtic Sources; discover the wonderful online collections of the Digital Repository of Ireland, and talk to staff members from the National Open Research Forum (NORF), and the Discovery Programme.

No booking required and walk-ins welcome on the night.
