Management and Advisory Boards
The activities of the Trinity Long Room Hub are overseen by two boards, one of which is internal to Trinity College and one of which benefits from the involvement of external members from the worlds of academia, business, the arts and culture. The latter, the Institute Board, meets four times a year to oversee and plan the strategic goals and priorities of the Hub.
