Economic and Social Research Institute - ESRI
5 Star University
Whitaker Square, Sir John Rogerson's Quay, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin 2, Ireland
The Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) in Dublin is a leading research institution rather than a traditional university, focusing on economic and social policy research in Ireland. While it does not offer conventional degree programs or courses in the same way universities do, it plays a critical role in shaping policy through rigorous analysis and data-driven insights. The ESRI collaborates with academic institutions, government bodies, and international organizations to conduct research and provide training in specialized areas.
At the main campus on Sir John Rogerson's Quay, the ESRI offers workshops, seminars, and short-term training programs aimed at policymakers, researchers, and professionals. These programs often cover topics related to economic modeling, social policy analysis, and data interpretation. Participants gain skills in understanding complex economic trends, labor market dynamics, health policy, education systems, and environmental sustainability.
These programs are designed for individuals seeking to deepen their understanding of Ireland’s economic and social challenges. The ESRI also hosts public lectures and conferences to disseminate research findings, fostering dialogue between academics, policymakers, and the public. Through its work, the institute contributes to evidence-based policymaking, ensuring that Ireland’s societal and economic policies are informed by robust research. While not a teaching institution in the traditional sense, the ESRI remains a hub for learning and professional development in the field of economic and social research.
