Welcome to the 1st installment of our Lockdown Lecture Series.
In 2019 DIAS hosted a lunchtime lecture series celebrating ‘What is life?’
An expert from each of the four Schools at DIAS considered the question ‘What is Life?’ from the perspective of their own work and field of study.
Despite the current coronavirus lockdown, DIAS is proud to present the Lockdown Lecture series to continue the never-ending pursuit of knowledge through teaching and learning. As part of our Lockdown Lecture series we are delighted to be able to revisit the Celtic Studies lecture: The language of life in early Ireland and Wales by Professor Barry Lewis, in an online format. This was a live lecture with a Q and A at the end.

The Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS) conducts advanced studies exploring big questions of the 21st century and beyond. Its research gains insights into Celtic society and its legacy; progresses our understanding of our island, our planet and the universe; and deciphers the underpinning mathematical principles of nature.
The Institute leads Ireland’s participation in a number of international and global initiatives that focus on big unanswered questions for mankind.
When it was founded in 1940, DIAS was the world’s second-only institute for advanced studies - and the first such institute in Europe. For 80 years, it has pushed the boundaries of discovery and, today, it is a globally-embedded institution that attracts high-calibre researchers from all over the world in its core disciplines of Celtic Studies, Theoretical Physics, Astrophysics and Geophysics. DIAS Dunsink Observatory is a designated European site of historical significance for physics.
