For 80 years DIAS has been tackling big research questions to gain insights to Celtic society and its legacy, to progress our understanding of our planet and the universe, and to decipher the underpinning mathematical principles of nature.
To mark our 80th Anniversary in 2020 we have developed a programme of public and academic events around four themes that relate to the work being carried out within our schools and sections. The themes are:
Our current work includes:
› Developing new technology and software for space missions,
› Underpinning sustainable global development by advancing our understanding of earth system change and the deep structure of the earth
› Advancing the unification of gravity and quantum physics, including consideration of the nature of spacetime; contributing to the optimisation of transmission of quantum information (quantum computing)
› Providing a virtual library of unique medieval manuscripts from the 6th to the 19th Centuries, through the Irish Script on Screen (ISOS) initiative, to enable global access and insights to Celtic identity, language, society and legacy.
The programme will be uploaded shortly. A full listing can be found under events.
The first DIAS staff member, and first Director of Theoretical Physics was born #OTD in 1887. Erwin Schrödinger came to Ireland in 1939 and joined DIAS in 1940.
We will be looking to the impact and legacy of the work he completed in Dublin next month:

Our second offering for @HistFest is a screening of 'Thinking Outside the Box - Schrödinger in Ireland', followed by a panel discussion with @laoneill111 on the lasting legacy of Schrödinger´s 'What is Life?' lectures to the present day.

Did you know DIAS scientists work on the @I_LOFAR project in Birr?
Last month as part of our anniversary celebrations we highlighted the inter county links of DIAS projects, staff and historical discoveries over the last 80 years.

Today would be the birthday of one of @DIASDunsink's most famous residents. So we ask what do you think is Sir William Rowan Hamilton's most remarkable achievement, or long lasting contribution to science? #DIASdunsink #physics #Mathematics #astronomy #dunsink #observatory
