ESRI's 50th Anniversary
The ESRI is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.
In recognition of the important contribution of the ESRI to Irish society since its foundation in June 1960, a number of special events are being held during 2010. Visit our website for further details and information on special events to be held throughout 2010.
We have also undertaken a project to gather information on our research alumni and former fellowship holders. Over 300 researchers have passed through the ESRI since 1960. Many continue to do research. The details that we have gathered about the subsequent careers and whereabouts of most of the Institute's research alumni are now available on our website. Please send any corrections or comments to gillian.davidson@esri.ie.
