Outline

The University of Dublin, Trinity College, founded in 1592, is the oldest university in Ireland. Under the College’s Strategic Plan 2003-2008, four main research themes are identified as follows:

Establishing and applying new knowledge in health sciences and health management.
Meeting the challenges of the Information Society.
Helping to develop public and social policy and to understand the dynamics of globalisation.
Contributing to a deeper appreciation of culture and the creative arts in Ireland and the world.

The Policy Institute was established in 1997 as a multi-disciplinary public policy research institute based in Trinity College Dublin. Our mission is to advance new and innovative ideas in research and education in public policy, by promoting active debate and engagement between the academic and public policy communities in Ireland and by supporting the analysis and development of effective policy solutions.
