Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies
The Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies ( Irish Institiúid Ard-Léinn Bhaile Átha Cliath ) is a research institute founded in Dublin in 1940 by the Irish Prime Minister Éamon de Valera .
The model for the foundation was the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton , founded in 1930 . At the institute, students are given the opportunity to take part in research, but the institute itself does not award any academic degrees.
Before that there were only the universities of Trinity College Dublin and University College Dublin and the then outdated Dunsink Observatory north of Dublin, where Ireland's most famous mathematician and physicist William Rowan Hamilton worked in the 19th century . The first two institutions were 1940 emigrated from Austria Nobel laureate school for the study of Celtic (School of Celtic Studies) and the School for Theoretical Physics (School of Theoretical Physics), for which are de Valera Erwin Schrödinger won that up there 1956 stayed. Both were at Merrion Square 64 and 65. The School of Cosmic Physics was added in 1947. Today the institute is in the south of Dublin (Burlington Road 10, Fitzwilliam Place 31, Merrion Square 5 and an offshoot at Dunsink Observatory).
Scientists working at the School for Theoretical Physics included Walter Heitler (as a colleague of Schrödinger), John Lighton Synge (an expert on general relativity), Lochlainn O'Raifeartaigh , John Trevor Lewis and Werner Nahm (director since 2002).
In July 2009 the report of the Irish Special Group on Public Service Numbers and Expenditure Program (also known as the McCarthy Report) proposed, among other things, that the institute should be merged with either University College Dublin or Trinity College (Dublin) . The report mentions payments from the Ministry of Finance of € 6.7 million to a total of 79 employees, an average of almost € 85,000 per person per year.
