On this day 85 years ago - 19 June 1940 - the 'Institute for Advanced Studies Act' was signed into law by President Dubhglas de hÍde, officially establishing DIAS.
Over the next 12 months, we’ll be celebrating 85 years of world-class research! Join us on this journey!
Today the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies celebrates its 85th birthday - founded in 1940 during, and in part because of, WW2 it reminds us that the pursuit of knowledge, science and scholarship is important and worthy of support even in the darkest of times. A message that sadly needs repetition today.
