The National Audio-Visual Repository (NAVR)
The NAVR research consortium is comprised of the Royal Irish Academy (RIA), Dublin Institute of Technology, NUI Galway, NUI Maynooth and Trinity College Dublin. It brings together leading researchers in the humanities and social sciences, library services and high-end computing, drawing on national research and graduate training programmes and structures such as the Irish Social Sciences Platform (ISSP), Humanities Serving Irish Society (HSIS), the Trinity Centre for High Performance Computing (TCHPC) and the Digital Humanities Observatory (DHO). The NAVR will build a single, unified, accessible and sustainable Trusted Digital Repository (TDR) and access repository for the humanities and qualitative social sciences in Ireland with common data and metadata standards, formats, access rights, and research tools. It will consolidate and make accessible social sciences, arts and cultural data, collections and audio-visual archives. It will:
Form a centralised resource to ensure that all future digitisation, archiving and qualitative research projects are NAVR compliant;
--Allow new constituencies to interact with digitisation activities and datasets created by key national cultural organisations, opening these up to a wider public, including schools;
--Concentrate research resources and add value to funded outputs by promoting innovative secondary, longitudinal and comparative analysis of existing data and make important datasets available for innovative analysis;
--Build Ireland’s capacity to interface with similar developing EU research infrastructures (e.g. DARIAH, CLARIN, CESSSDA, Europeana), creating opportunities to leverage significant EU funding for future developments in this area.
The NAVR is funded through Cycle 5 of the Programme for Research in Third Level Institutions administered by the HEA and co-funded under the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).

The National University of Ireland Maynooth
Following two centuries of internationally renowned scholarly activity on the Maynooth campus the National University of Ireland, Maynooth was established under the 1997 Universities Act as an autonomous member of the federal structure known as the National University of Ireland. It is located on a pleasant university campus in Ireland’s only university town 20km west of Dublin, and has recently undergone a major phase of expansion in research, teaching and service facilities. The spacious campus is laid out in its own extensive grounds in rural surroundings, and is divided between an older complex of fine nineteenth century buildings and a modern complex of teaching, research, accommodation, and support facilities.
The University has over 8,000 students; around 10% are from overseas. The student and faculty bodies are drawn from all over Ireland and from more than 50 countries. This diversity makes NUI Maynooth an exciting multi-cultural learning community. The University has a long tradition of international contacts, working with a large number of prestigious higher education institutions around the world in teaching and research collaborations. We actively participate in the ERASMUS exchange programme, and other Inter-University Co-operation programmes (ICPs), and use the European Community Course Credit Transfer System (ECTS).
