TU Dublin hosts a thriving research community engaged in designing innovative technological solutions, generating scientific insights, influencing policy makers, and reflecting on and contributing to the creative life of Ireland and abroad. This is aligned with our vision of solving the world’s most pressing problems and championing these issues at local, national, and global level.
