The Academy is an all-island independent forum that brings together the worlds of academia, government and industry, to address issues of mutual interest, through our major outreach events and legacy projects. Drawing on our Members’ expertise, we make a significant contribution to public debate and public policy formation on issues in science, technology and culture. We lead important national research projects, particularly in areas relating to Ireland and its heritage. In addition, the Academy represents the world of Irish learning internationally, maintains and enhances a unique globally-recognised library and is a leading academic publisher. The Royal Irish Academy/Acadamh Ríoga na hÉireann is a publicly funded institution established for the promotion of Irish academic research. The Academy was founded by Royal Charter in 1785.

Bunaithe sa bhliain 1785, is é Acadamh Ríoga na hÉireann acadamh na hÉireann do na heolaíochtaí, do na daonnachtaí agus do na heolaíochtaí sóisialta. Cuireann an tAcadamh sainchomhairle ar fáil, déanann sé bainistíocht ar thionscnaimh thaighde, foilsíonn sé leabhair agus irisí agus cothaíonn sé leabharlann. Is í an onóir acadúil is airde in Éirinn ná a bheith tofa mar bhall den Acadamh. Faoi láthair, tá thart ar 460 ball aige. I measc na mball sna blianta a d’imigh romhainn bhí William Rowan Hamilton, Ernest Walton agus Erwin Schrödinger. I measc na mball reatha tá Frances Ruane, Mary Robinson agus Luke O’Neill. Suite in aice le Teach an Ardmhéara, bíonn léachtaí, dioscúrsaí agus maistir-ranganna ar siúl ann go rialta.
