Our Research Pillars

Driven by purpose, powered by people, shaped by place.

Our university champions the role of foundational, curiosity-driven research in expanding our understanding of the world and inspiring innovation. Our research community is engaged in global challenges, national priorities, and regional needs.

Together, we embrace an interdisciplinary and engaged approach, across a broad range of disciplines, and deliver impact through international collaboration. Our research leverages the unique character of our place, coalescing around four pillars, through which we deliver University of Galway’s distinctive research impact.
