Research and Participation
The Maurice Kennedy Research Centre offers retired staff a location on campus to facilitate continuing research, pursuit of academic interests and making contributions to the University’s activities.
The Centre is currently located in Room B107 Newman Building, Belfield.
The room is normally available exclusively to members on visits to Belfield. It is equipped with Wifi, chairs, desks, and a small library. Post for members may also be directed there.
Keys to access the room can be obtained on application to any member of the committee.
Research and Teaching-Active Retired Faculty
UCD has now established a new policy for Research Active retired staff. While this applies to "about to retire" staff, you may also be able to go through the procedures detailed in the link below, even if you have been retired for a number of years.

Being designated as 'research active' does have several advantages, such as access to the latest Microsoft Office available to current staff.
