We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Professor Christine Casey, a cherished member of Trinity’s Department of History of Art and Architecture.

Christine was a valued and much-loved member of Trinity’s Arts and Humanities community, whose contribution extended far beyond the University. We were honoured to welcome her as a participant in our Arts & Humanities Research Festival in 2024, where she shared her expertise and passion for the field.

The Trinity Long Room Hub extends its heartfelt condolences to Christine’s family, friends, colleagues and all who knew and worked with her.

May she rest in peace.

Are we training critics or contributors? Trinity College Dublin's Professor Patrick Geoghegan, delivers a thought-provoking challenge to universities: are we encouraging students to engage with complexity and ambiguity, or just to tear things down? He warns that when debate is shut down because a topic is deemed "settled," we fail our students and our democracies.

Today marks the start of Ireland’s EU Presidency: six months in which the conversations that shape European policy, research and investment will happen across Dublin, and on this campus.

Trinity will be hosting events, welcoming leaders and opening our doors to the conversations that will shape Europe’s future. We are proud to support this important work.

The Presidency is about solving hard problems; competitiveness, security, climate, health, the future of the continent. So are we. Every day, in every discipline, throughout the University, we are working on Europe’s hardest problems.

This week, we were proud to present the Trinity European Laureate Award to Michael McGrath EU Commissioner, in recognition of his contribution to democracy.

Organised in partnership with Teneo, the award was presented by Provost Dr Linda Doyle in Brussels, at the heart of European policymaking. This location underscored both Commissioner McGrath's contribution to democratic leadership and the Hub's commitment to engaging with conversations that matter across Europe.

With Ireland's upcoming Presidency of the Council of the European Union approaching, the occasion offered a timely opportunity to reflect on the importance of democracy, collaboration, and shared European values.
