Research Centres and Institutes

Significant advances in scientific understanding are most often achieved by interdisciplinary research, which is conducted within each school, across schools and colleges in UCD, and with researchers and institutions across the world. There are several centres of interdisciplinary collaboration within UCD to which many of our Principal Investigators are aligned:
