Centers of Excellent Research at King's College Dublin

It's not much use being good at teaching if you're not also tops at research. Think back on all the insipring teachers you've had, at school or at university. Weren't they all involved in cutting-edge research? Didn't their research flow fruitfully into their teaching? Well, then.

At King's College Dublin, it's goodbye Departments, hello Centers. Listed below are some the powerhouses of research excellence that will ensure our financial viability and competitiveness going forward.
