International Activities
The Royal Irish Academy is a member of several global academic networks and international scholarly associations.
We work to raise the international profile of Ireland’s researchers and research networks, strengthen the voice of the sciences, humanities and social sciences in high-level debates, and support international collaboration and mobility through Academy grants programmes. We work closely with sister academies including joint projects, policy statements and international research collaboration grants.
