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.

Open research

Our work in this area seeks to support a smooth transition towards an open research environment and to allow the voices of researchers to be heard in the process. The Academy recognises that the move towards open access and sharing of all publicly funded research creates many new opportunities and also represents a fundamental reform to the research environment.
