The Trinity Long Room Hub is Trinity’s research institute for the Arts and Humanities. We provide support for researchers at all career stages through our fellowship and public engagement programmes, competitive funding for new projects, resources for emerging research themes and groups and for addressing new research practices, and platforms to showcase the impact and centrality of Arts and Humanities-led research. 

Who we support

Our research community represents over twenty disciplines including the creative arts, philosophy, religion, languages, literatures, cultural studies, linguistics, history, law, education, peace studies, and classics, as well as the University Library. Collectively, these disciplines respond to the complex evolution of identity and culture; the determining effects of language, communication, and representation; and the meanings of historical and contemporary lived experience. Current institute priorities for research include democracy and resistance, cultural and literary heritage, the futures of Ireland, and human-centred approaches to technology.
