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 believe that the best research should also be available to the public. We hold regular, free talks and other events to promote this research and to introduce Irish and international experts to the public. Noam Chomsky, Michael D. Higgins, James Watson and Peter Higgs have all come to talk to us.
