Research Policy

Our research goals are to:

• Develop and support staff research programmes to the highest standard
• Continue to build on and develop our national reputation in sociological research and writing
• Develop our research programmes and infrastructure to the highest international standards
• Become a centre for promoting public and civic understanding of Irish society

Two documents in particular set forth our future plans in relation to developing research in the department:
