Professor Rose Anne Kenny is Honoured with Election to the Prestigious Royal Irish Academy On recognition of her outstanding contribution to ageing research in Ireland and internationally, Professor Rose Anne Kenny, founder of TILDA, has been honoured with membership to the Royal Irish Academy. Membership of the Royal Irish Academy is the highest academic honour in Ireland and a public recognition of academic achievement. At the ceremony admitting the 15 new members, Professor Mary E. Daly, President of the Royal Irish Academy said: ‘When the Royal Irish Academy elects members, it does so on the basis of a candidate’s publications and research record—the sole criterion is quality. This research may help in the treatment of disease, or it may enhance our understanding of a past civilisation. Members of the Academy should not shirk from their responsibility to let people know that basic research is important and that government support for fundamental research is a hallmark of a civilised society’. New members included other leading Trinity College Dublin academics Professor Andrew Bowie, Professor Padraic Fallon, Professor Mani Ramaswami and Professor Ciaran Brady. Among the 482 members of the Academy are many of Ireland’s leading scholars, the best known of whom include: Joe Lee, historian; Patrick Honohan, economist; Dermot Gleeson, barrister and Attorney General 1994-7; Anngret Simms, geographer; Dermot Moran, philosopher; Peter Sutherland, lawyer and banker; Noel Dorr, former diplomat; Geraldine Kennedy, journalist; Susan Denham, Chief Justice; Paul Bew, political scientist; Luke O'Neill, Immunologist; Michael D. Higgins, President of Ireland. Read more about the Admittance Ceremony here RIA twitter page

Tá Ollamh le Tíreolaíocht Choláiste na Tríonóide Baile Átha Cliath, Anna Davies, i measc an 18 comhalta nua de chuid Acadamh Ríoga na hÉireann a fógraíodh inniu. Roghnaíodh í mar aitheantas ar an obair de scoth an domhain atá déanta aici i gcúrsaí eolaíochta agus na ndaonnachtaí. Tá aithne mhór ar an Ollamh Davies go hidirnáisiúnta sa phobal taighde ar thomhaltas inbhuanaithe agus is í an Rúnaí í ar Ardán na hEorpa ar Thomhaltas Inbhuanaithe agus Táirgíocht. Bronnadh Gradam Consolidator ERC uirthi le gairid don tionscadal SHARECITY, an chéad staidéar domhanda ar chomhroinnt bia i gcathracha, ar an gcleachtas a bhaineann leis agus ar an mbeadh sé inbhuanaithe. Ó 1785, tá comhaltacht san Acadamh á bronnadh ar dhaoine a bhfuil gradam bainte amach acu de bharr a gcuid oibre i gcúrsaí oideachais agus taighde. Is í an onóir acadúil is airde in Éirinn í. Dúirt an tOllamh Peter Kennedy, Uachtarán Acadamh Ríoga na hÉireann: "Údar mór bróid d'Éirinn na fir agus mná a bhfuil aitheantas idirnáisiúnta acadúil bainte amach acu don tír. Mar chomhaltaí den Acadamh, neartóidh siad acmhainn an Acadaimh sainchomhairle a chur ar fail ar bheartas Ardoideachais agus Taighde." Toghadh alumnus Choláiste na Tríonóide, buaiteoir Ghradam Nobel, William Campbell mar Chomhalta Oinigh d'Acadamh Ríoga na hÉireann níos túisce i mbliana agus déanfar é a chlárú níos déanaí.
