Royal Irish Academy Discourse Series
The Royal Irish Academy’s discourses are the oldest and most renowned series of talks in Ireland. The first discourses were presented in 1786. Historically, Academy discourses were the occasion reserved for the most distinguished academics to first reveal and discuss their research in public. Continuing in this tradition, the Discourse Series brings international experts to the Academy to discuss important contemporary issues in front of a live audience. Past discourses are available to watch back on ria.ie
Please note:
We ask that you arrive to 19 Dawson Street no later than 5.50pm so that we can ensure everyone is seated before the Discourse begins at 6pm. Late-comers will not be admitted. See our Events and Admission Policy and our Events Privacy Notice
