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.

We support the discussion and exchange of opinions and ideas on contemporary Irish cultural and heritage policy and practice. We draw on the expertise of our members, academic committees, and research projects to inform our work. We frequently work in partnership with other cultural and heritage bodies and groups and have strong links to the Government’s Creative Ireland programme and Heritage Ireland 2030.
