Research is a vital and dynamic component of DIT activities. Along with research carried out in faculties the Institute is involved in cutting edge research across a range of associated Research Centres and Groups.
Professor Ellen Hazelkorn is DIT's Director of Research and Enterprise and Dean of the Graduate Research School.
The Graduate Research School supports and develops graduate research education across the organisation and its community of research students and research student supervisors.

- New Materials & Technologies
- ICT
- Creative Arts and Media

- Social, Business & Economic Development
Hothouse DIT's Technology Transfer Office has been established to assist companies and entrepreneurs to start and grow businesses based on DIT research and to assist DIT colleagues and students to commercialise their intellectual property.
