Welcome to the Policy Institute at Trinity College Dublin
The Policy Institute is a multi-disciplinary public policy research institute. Based in Trinity College in the heart of Dublin, the Institute has close links with the School of Social Sciences and Philosophy, the School of Social Work and Social Policy, and the School of Business.
The Institute acts as a forum for interaction between the College and the diverse policy communities of the city of Dublin. It runs a series of seminars, lectures and occasional conferences on issues of major importance; it hosts a visiting research fellow in conjunction with the Combat Poverty Agency, and it publishes a series of Studies in Public Policy (informally known as “Blue Papers”), which provide short, rigorous, but accessible analyses of policy issues.
