Public Engagement

The Academy runs an annual programme of public outreach and engagement events across the spectrum of our activities.

We offer an independent trusted space for robust and respectful discourse bringing together academia, government, civil society, and the private sector. We draw on the knowledge and expertise of our members and our research initiatives to shape and contribute to policy debates. We represent Irish research in national and international scholarly networks and contribute to international scientific exchange and policy discussion
