Founded in 1592, Trinity is Ireland’s leading university with research and education activities across all the major disciplines in the arts and humanities, and in business, law, engineering, science, and health sciences. The college’s tradition of independent intellectual inquiry encompasses the writers Oscar Wilde and Samuel Beckett, the scientists William Rowan Hamilton and Ernest Walton, the political thinker Edmund Burke, and the former President of Ireland Mary Robinson.

TCD is a clinical site in the pragmatic trial (WP3; Prof Davies and Dr Lavan) and the lead centre for the economic evaluation (WP4; Dr May).
