The Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS) is a statutory corporation established in 1940 under the Institute for Advanced Studies Act of that year. It is a publicly-funded independent centre for research in basic disciplines. DIAS has three constituent schools:
Each School has an independent Governing Board. DIAS, through the constituent Schools, pursues fundamental research in specialised branches of knowledge and trains advanced students in methods of original research. DIAS is an academic publisher of monographs, books, and journals in Celtic Studies and on advanced scientific subjects.
The Council consists of a Chairman appointed by the President, on the advice of the Government, three ex-officio members and six members appointed by the Governing Boards of the constituent schools. DIAS has a Registrar/CEO and a Central Administration. It is primarily financed by an annual grant from the state.
The 2nd seismometer "Brian" has been successfully deployed by #seaseis. It is named after a former DIAS Senior Professor, Brian Jacob, whose work on the continental nature of basins west of Ireland led to the Irish territory increasing by a factor of 10 #diasdiscovers#diasatsea
The seismometer has been named “Allód”, an ancient name for the Irish God of the sea & is the winner in the naming competition from Coláiste Phobail Cholmcille, Tory Isle, Donegal. Congrats to the class & teacher Máire Clár Nic Mhathúna! #diasdiscovers#diasatsea#DIASDublin
The first seismometer has been deployed in the North Atlantic. The #seaseis team aboard worked a serious shift to make it a success and it all went smoothly. #diasdiscovers#diasatsea#DIASDublin
