Royal Irish Academy: Research Open Day
Tuesday, 4 October 2022, 10:00 – 17:00 IST.
Venue: Academy House, Dawson Street, Dublin 2
In 1785 the founding members of the Royal Irish Academy believed that research would bring enlightenment and tolerance; that ‘the increase of useful knowledge’ would create a better society and improve our world. Today, in an age of greater doubt and mistrust, even more value must be placed on rigorous enquiry, reliability of analysis and depth of knowledge. The Royal Irish Academy’s research projects and related library and publications infrastructures focus attention on vital topics: place, language, international relations, the lives of defining figures, the public history of institutions and ways to share knowledge.
Our Research Open Day aims to open windows onto research in action, allowing peo...

On Monday, 4 April Mary Canning, PRIA presented Ruth Byrne, Professor of Cognitive Science, Trinity College Dublin with the 2021 Royal Irish Academy Gold Medal in the Social Sciences and Jennifer McElwain, Professor of Botany, Trinity College Dublin with the 2021 Royal Irish Academy Gold Medal in the Environmental Sciences and Geosciences.
An Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, T.D. gave the keynote address stressing the importance of research and innovation and acknowledging the value of the contribution of higher education to policymakers and the public.
Dr Linda Doyle, Provost, Trinity College Dublin welcomed the President to the Provost’s House for the awarding ceremony attended by fellow members of the Academy, colleagues in academia, family and friends.
Each year, the Royal Irish Academy awards Gold Medals to two world-class researchers in Ireland whose work has made and continues to make a global impact. The awards celebrate the achievements of higher education in Ireland and serve to inspire future generations of high-achieving researchers.
Dr Mary Canning, President of the Royal Irish Academy said
‘Public recognition of excellence demonstrates the Academy’s core purpose to promote awareness of how science and the humanities enrich our lives and benefit society. Our two Gold Medal award recipients today have, through the rigour and global impact of their work, illustrated those values perfect and their achievements will inspire early career researchers after all, you cannot be what you cannot see.’
An Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, said
‘I am delighted to help celebrate the outstanding work of Professor Ruth Byrne and Professor Jennifer McElwain as they are awarded the Royal Irish Academy Gold Medals. The global pandemic highlighted how important research and innovation and the contribution of the Higher Education sector is for policymakers and citizens alike. We want to further improve that flow of ideas into the future. The Royal Irish Academy Gold Medals demonstrate the value, range and quality of research in Higher Education Institutes that is making a global impact.’
Professor Ruth Byrne said,
‘This award is a welcome recognition of the value of the scientific study of the human mind, especially the importance of discoveries in cognitive science about the human imagination, for understanding how people think, reason, and make decisions in their daily lives.’
Professor Jennifer McElwain said
‘The award of the RIA Gold Medal in the Environmental Sciences and Geosciences is a huge personal honour. For me it highlights how studies of landscapes, fossils and atmospheres of a past Earth from millions of years ago are valued because they provide a long-term context to contemporary issues of climate change and biodiversity loss. An understanding of the deep geological past allow us to document baselines of past climate change, the sensitivity of global climate to changes in atmospheric composition and the tipping points which have negative consequences for biodiversity.’
The 2021 Royal Irish Academy Gold Medal in the Environmental Sciences and Geosciences is sponsored by the Geological Survey of Ireland and the Geological Survey of Northern Ireland.

Face The Music *** NEW SERIES on RTÉ One, Thursdays @ 10.15pm.
Episode 1
The Royal Irish Academy opens for a new academic year, ensuring lessons go ahead while building work continues on a new world-class campus redevelopment. It's the start of a new academic year and Deborah Kelleher, Director of the Royal Irish Academy of Music, is facing the prospect of opening the national conservatoire with builders still onsite. The €25 million project has experienced significant overruns due to COVID complications and shows no signs of finishing on time. Vocal student, Rachael Connaghan is about to have major jaw surgery to fix a misalignment that is impacting her singing but not before she auditions for a lead role in the opera. 17-year-old, pianist, Sean Shannon is leaving home for the first time to take a place in RIAMs third-level programme. Having taught himself on a toy piano and watching Youtube videos he's nervous about stepping into such a professional environment. Screenings take place for third level students to determine their place in the RIAM Philharmonia Orchestra. Face The Music is an exciting new 3-part observational documentary series from Animo TV that follows the students and teachers of The Royal Irish Academy of Music during a pivotal year in its 175- year history. We join director, Deborah Kelleher at the start of the new academic year as she deals with significant delays to a 25 million building project that has already experienced significant overruns due to the pandemic and the rising costs of bund no materials. Undeterred, Deborah knows as the leader of this internationally renowned institution that the show must go on. Throughout this 3-part series we meet the students and teachers that dedicate their lives to the pursuit of excellence in music. If classical music seemed elitist in the past, Deborah is doing her utmost to break down barriers and make it accessible to everybody. However. this is still a world that strives for perfection and the demands on students are significant.

On the 22 of May 2020 Dr Mary Canning, PRIA welcomed our recently elected Members as we held our annual Admittance Day ceremony online
For 235 years new members of the Royal Irish Academy were admitted with a handshake.
This year was different. Dr Mary Canning, president of the Academy, admitted 29 new members in a video call. While there were no handshakes there was much smiling for a group of exceptional individuals who are internationally renowned in their respective fields. They include:
Janet Browne—a world leading scholar on Charles Darwin
Seamus Davis—a pioneer in the physics of quantum materials
Fintan O’Toole—winner of the European Press Prize and the Orwell Prize for Journalism
Kate Fitzgerald—a world renowned immunologist
Deirdre Madden—an internationally renowned bioethicist and deputy chair of the HSE.
Welcoming the newly admitted members, Dr Canning said ‘Ireland should be immensely proud of these women and men who have brought international acclaim to our country. As members of the Royal Irish Academy they will strengthen our capacity to provide the expert advice Ireland needs at this time’. She thanked the many Academy members who had put their expertise at the service of the people of Ireland during the current Covid-19 crisis and announced that ‘an Academy steering group has been established to develop and coordinate the activities of the various Academy committees and members and to maximise the Academy’s convening power across all humanities, social sciences and science disciplines throughout the island of Ireland.’
In her address she called for the establishment of a multi-disciplinary group of independent scientific advisers under the aegis of the Department of the Taoiseach, to advise government on the formidable scientific challenges facing Ireland, such as Covid-19 and climate change, as Ireland’s office of the Chief Scientific Adviser currently lacks the staff or budget to do the complex job that is now urgently required.
The Irish Government Economic and Evaluation Service (IGEES) was established after the economic crash, to provide ‘integrated cross-government advice’. ‘An equivalent science advisory service is now required for good government’, Dr Canning said and urged political parties engaged in coalition talks to prioritise the establishment of this in any programme for government.
Dr Canning looks forward to the day when she can physically welcome the new members to Academy House. The 29 members admitted to the Royal Irish Academy today are:
Sciences
Pavel Baranov (University College Cork); Steven E.J. Bell (Queen’s University Belfast); Marie Cowan (Geological Survey of Northern Ireland); Seamus Davis (University College Cork); Christopher Elliott (Queen’s University Belfast); Robert Forster (Dublin City University); Cecily Kelleher (University College Dublin); Frank McDermott (University College Dublin); Nabeel Agha Riza (University College Cork); Afshin Samali (NUI Galway); and Miles Turner (Dublin City University).
Humanities and Social Sciences
Niamh Brennan (University College Dublin); David Collings (Dublin City University); Enrico Dal Lago (NUI Galway); Paul Michael Garrett (NUI Galway); Margaret Kelleher (University College Dublin); Deirdre Madden (University College Cork); Christopher Marsh (Queen’s University Belfast); Máire Ní Annracháin (University College Dublin); Fintan O’Toole (The Irish Times and Princeton University); Philipp Rosemann (Maynooth University); Karen E. Till (Maynooth University); and Ben Tonra (University College Dublin).
Honorary members
Janet Browne (Harvard University); Kevin Costello (Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics); Katherine Fitzgerald (University of Massachusetts); Christopher Hawkesworth (University of Bristol); David Hempton (Harvard Divinity School); and Thomas JJ O'Loughlin (University of Nottingham - elected in 2017).

Royal Irish Academy of Music opens new Westland Row music campus following €25 million redesign

Ireland’s longest-serving provider of classical music education and number one ranked performing arts school in Ireland is delighted to officially announce the opening of its new state-of-the-art Westland Row campus in Dublin City Centre following a €25 million investment.
Designed by Todd Architects, the new 6,500 sq. meters Westland Row campus will include an impressive 300-seat concert hall; a purpose-built opera studio and rehearsal space; 75 teaching rooms featuring adjustable and adaptable acoustics; new state-of-the-art library to underpin an ambitious research agenda; a sonic arts hub for electronic music composition; a 60-seat lecture hall, a dedicated music therapy facility for people of all ages and needs, and a new and more accessible entrance that will allow wheelchair users to fully access RIAM’s facilities.
RIAM was awarded a €10 million Government grant to support its re-development under the Project Ireland 2040 Plan and secured a further €11 million from donors for the project, which was the largest philanthropic donation for an arts capital project in Ireland. The remaining funds needed for the development came from RIAMs own funds. The investment and redeveloped campus will enable the RIAM to increase its student enrolment in fit-for-purpose facilities ready to nurture generations of music students to come.The new campus will set the stage for RIAM students and visiting artists to shine as they will give over 100 public performances annually, about 20% of which are free, to over 10,000 members of the public.
Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science Simon Harris TD said: “I am delighted to be here at the Royal Irish Academy of Music to officially open their redeveloped campus with Minister Catherine Martin. This redevelopment was a really significant undertaking, at a cost of €25 million, my Department funded €7 million of that cost and Minister Martin’s Department funded a further €3 million. “The development project transforms the RIAM campus and opens it to the public in a far more accessible way. Accessibility and digital infrastructure of the campus will broaden the reach and profile of its students, to include those who have disabilities and those outside of Dublin. “It’s especially heartening the Music Discovery and Therapy Facilities will be able to provide tailor made programmes for a range of people, including those on the autism spectrum.”
Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media Catherine Martin TD said:“The new RIAM campus offers a remarkable array of facilities for our young musicians and artists. From an impressive new 300-seater recital hall to a modernised library and research facility, RIAM’s students will be equipped with the best possible resources in which to further their development.”
“As Minister for Culture and the Arts, I am delighted that my Department was able to support this important redevelopment project. With RIAM’s and the forthcoming redevelopment of the National Concert Hall, Ireland is well on its way to becoming a world-class centre of musical excellence.”
Deborah Kelleher, Director of the Royal Irish Academy of Music, spoke at the opening and said: “The Royal Irish Academy of Music (RIAM) seeks to champion and support high-quality music education in Ireland and inspire the next generation of musicians. Central to our ambitions of reaching further, being more accessible and nurturing great artists, is our newly transformed campus on Westland Row. This campus will allow us to expand the intake of the Academy each year and further grow the musical talent in Ireland.
The RIAM is a national conservatoire for music which teaches 2,000 pre-college and 200 full-time degree students annually from its premises on Westland Row. In addition, RIAM has a national music assessment body that examines about 35,000 music students annually, making RIAM the quality mark for music in Ireland. In recent years, RIAM has introduced teacher-training programmes aimed at enhancing the quality of music teaching nationally. RIAM is ranked in the top 50 performing arts schools in the world and has international performance partners that include leading schools such as the Paris Conservatoire, Mozarteum Salzburg and the Juilliard School of Music in New York. RIAM was included in the Irish Government’s diplomatic agreement with the French Government in 2021, when RIAM signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Paris Conservatoire, from which exciting performance projects have developed.
Alumni of RIAM include soprano Celine Byrne; writer Joseph O’Connor; actors Sinead and Niamh Cusack; mezzo-soprano Tara Erraught, and pianist Finghin Collins. Candidates in RIAM’s national exams have included BAFTA winner, Andrew Scott, Westlife’s Kian Egan and actor, Evanna Lynch.
