Research
The UCD Geary Institute for Public Policy is a centre of excellence for policy-relevant, theoretically informed, empirical research in the social and behavioural sciences. It was founded in 1999 and named in honour of Roy Geary, a UCD graduate whose research on economics, demography, and national accounting remains central to study in these fields to this day.
The Geary Institute brings together researchers from across the social and behavioural sciences to enable cross disciplinary collaboration and to stimulate discussion on theories, methodologies and empirical results. We support research project applications and implementation and also maximise research impact on the academic literature and on public policy.
