Peer Review College

The Irish Research Council for Humanities and Social Sciences (IRCHSS) is establishing a Peer Review College to populate a database of Humanities and Social Sciences experts to contribute to national and international evaluation practices.

The IRCHSS operates a number of interlinked Research Schemes supporting postgraduate, postdoctoral, academic and project based research in humanities and social sciences. All applications are internationally peer reviewed to the highest standard. In order to maintain and improve our review procedures we welcome suggestions of suitably qualified national and international experts to be submitted on our website www.irchss.ie (Please note names can only be submitted by completing the form on the website).

Nominations are requested for:

  • International discipline experts to participate in national scheme evaluations.
  • National discipline experts to contribute to the work of the IRCHSS in consultations, reviews of existing awards progress committees, and potential nominations for international assessments (as an when required).

The database will serve as reference point for the sole use of the IRCHSS executive in selecting experts, details of the database will be confidential and will not be released to third parties without prior permission.

We look forward to an enthusiastic response from the humanities and social sciences community in Ireland and thank you for your interest in improving our schemes.
