The Leuven Centre for Irish Studies (LCIS) is a multi- and interdisciplinary research centre of the Humanities and Social Sciences of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven and the Irish College Leuven.
The Centre has three objectives: first, to stimulate cooperation between researchers from Irish universities and from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven; second, to conduct research into three fields of Irish Studies—Literature, History, Theology, Philosophy and Fine Arts; Peace and Transformative Growth; Economics, Business, Law, Innovation and Valorisation; and thirdly, to promote cultural events at the Irish College Leuven.
These objectives are achieved through cultural and academic events that are organised throughout the year, academic conferences and workshops, and the LCIS Lecture Series.
