The Directors of Research Forum is our internal governance forum chaired by the Director. It comprises the Directors of Research from each of our partner schools and the Library together with the convenors of each of the five research themes. It meets monthly during teaching term and represents an important strategic sounding board and point of contact with our academic and Library partners.
The Forum is guided by clear and wide-ranging terms of reference designed to strengthen cooperation and communication between the Institute and its partners and ensure that the relationship is mutually beneficial and that partners, as the Trinity Long Room Hub’s research community, have a sense of ownership of its programmes and activities and a vested interest in its development.
