The Role of the University in a Changing World
Drew Faust
30 June 2010, Trinity College Dublin

In a speech to the Royal Irish Academy at Trinity College Dublin on Wednesday 30 June, Harvard president Drew Faust surveyed "the role of the university in a changing world." While she celebrated the expansion of education globally, she warned of the rising pressures threatening to undercut that trend. She lauded the career-defining role of higher education and defended the ongoing importance of the humanities. The event was co-sponsored by the Irish Research Council for the Humanities and Social Sciences (IRCHSS).

Learning From One Another - Us and European Policies Toward University-Industry Technology Transfer
Professor David C. Mowery, Chair of New Enterprise Development, Haas School of Business, University of California at Berkeley
Tuesday, 20 September 2011, Academy House

On the 20 of September David C. Mowery delivered a public lecture jointly orgainised by the Royal Irish Academy and the ESRI entitled Learning from one another? US and European policies toward university-industry technology transfer.

Professor Mowery discussed institutional models for technology transfer and challenges for implementing these in small open economies. Efforts by European governments to emulate US policies in relation to technology transfer [such as the Bayh-Dole policy] are likely to have only modest success unless greater attention is given to the underlying structural differences among the higher education systems of these nations.

Global Perspectives of Open Access

Speakers:
Prof Nicholas Canny, European Research Council's Working Group on Open Access
Geraldine Clement Stoneham, Knowledge and Information Manager, Medical Research Council UK, and RCUK Research Outputs Network
Dr Julia M Wallace, Manager, PEER (Publishing and the Ecology of European Research) Project

The Royal Irish Academy and the Irish Research Council held a forum on Open Access on May 2, 2013.

Representatives from Irish researchers, public research funders, publishers and industry met in the Royal Irish Academy to discuss the implications of rolling out Open Access to all publicly funded research in Ireland, including making research freely accessible without charge on the internet.

Speakers at the Forum considered how Open Access can support the best research to reach not only the best scientists but also a wider public audience. They considered whether and how Open Access can encourage greater use of research by small and medium enterprises, and explore how Irish Open Access policies measure up against the proposed UK ‘Gold Model’ of Open Access and the European Commission’s proposed ‘Green Model’.
